    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice in passing a message of deep condolences to my departed colleagues; Prof. George Saitoti and hon. Joshua Ojode. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the part of Prof. Saitoti, if there is anything that we need to learn about tolerance, then I think that is the best experience we have. Somebody who would have held the position of Vice-President and then he is kept waiting for 14 months and then he is reappointed the way he was and took up the job, then if there is any tolerance, then we have to learn it from Prof. Saitoti. Of course, there is a lot for us to learn from his CV, particularly from his university and his working life. He performed very well when he was the Minister for Education. The Ministry was not like the way we have seen it recently. We have seen his work in the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Things now seem to be quite in order. Whoever will take over the Ministry should follow up on what the late hon. Saitoti said in his recent speech, because a lot needs to be done in the constituencies, including provision of vehicles for the police and so on. He made that promise. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have said, the way the late hon. Ojode handled parliamentary business relating to the Ministry is commendable. Just like my brother, Wakoli Bifwoli, we have been managing the Parliamentary Sacco together with the late hon. Ojode. Even as officials of the Parliamentary Sacco, we have not had the problem of being broke, particularly with the late hon. Ojode being the Chairman. Therefore, on behalf of my own self, my family and the people of Vihiga County and Vihiga Constituency, I would like to send my condolences to the families of the late hon. Saitoti and hon. Ojode as well as to the families of all the police officers who died in the chopper."
