    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want, on behalf of all of us, to truly celebrate and congratulate our brother, the outgoing Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Gichohi. I joined this august House when it was at its Fifth Session. I met Mr. Gichohi. He was one of the Clerks-at-the-Table. I recall his predecessors, the late Ndindiri, may the Lord continue to rest his soul in peace. Before Ndindiri, there was Mr. Masya. Before Mr. Masya, there were Messrs. Gicheru and Leonard Ngugi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Gichohi stands out as the Clerk of the National Assembly who has presided over the business of this House at a time when this country had its first major challenge in terms of parliamentary governance. I am referring to the Grand Coalition Government. I have had moments, as Leader of Government Business, when I had to consult Mr. Gichohi, asking him what we should do and he has always been there, smiling. Nothing has been too difficult for him. Mr. Gichohi is an officer and a gentleman. Those words would appropriately describe him."
