    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join you and my fellow hon. colleagues in appreciating what Patrick has done to Parliament since his appointment. Mr. Speaker, you and I may remember that we met him at the university when we were in our early twenties and he was our senior by a year; a humble and self-respecting person, right from his university days. Having served with him in the Parliamentary Service Commission for just less than five years, I can say with certainty that the rich experience of Mr. Patrick Gichohi has been useful in guiding the Commission. On many occasions, we have had to listen to his advice and experience, not just collected from the Kenya Parliament, but across the Commonwealth. He has been very useful to us and has made us undertake some of the reforms that you have mentioned. As we sit in this Chamber now, a lot has to do with the input of Mr. Patrick Gichohi. As Mr. Gichohi joins the rank of senior citizens of this country, I hope that he will continue to serve this Parliament as a consultant from time to time, particularly, as we enter this difficult part of the bicameral system. I expect Members of this House will extend the cooperation that they extended to Mr. Patrick Gichohi to his successor, Mr. Justin Bundi. With that, I wish him well in his retirement."
