"content": "Honourable Members, I have a Communication from the Chair on the passing on of the mother to the Deputy Speaker, hon. Dr. Joyce Laboso, MP. Yesterday evening, I learnt with deep sorrow that the Deputy Speaker, hon. Dr. Joyce Laboso, MP had lost her mother, the late Mrs. Rebecca Laboso who was born in 1936 in Kaminjeiwet Village in Bureti District, Kericho County. She was the wife to the late Fredrick Laboso. The late Mrs. Rebecca Laboso worked in various hospitals mainly in the then Kericho District before she retired to go into full time farming in Sotik alongside her husband. She was an ardent tea and dairy farmer and was one of the most successful farmers in Rift Valley. She won many prizes in the agricultural shows. She was respected in the community and served as a councillor in the Sotik Town Council in the 1970s. I am informed that she has been unwell since November 2012 and has been under medication. On the morning of 24th April 2013, her condition deteriorated and she was rushed to the Nairobi Hospital where she peacefully passed on at 1.00 p.m. We wish to visit the family of the Deputy Speaker on Monday 29th April 2013 from midday. The honourable Members who wish to condole with the family are requested to assemble at the main car park at 11. a.m. for transportation to the Deputy Speakerâs residence here in Nairobi. On behalf of Members of staff of the National Assembly, and on my own behalf, I wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Mrs. Rebecca Laboso. During this moment of sorrow, I wish them Godâs comfort and strength. May the God Lord rest her soul in eternal peace."
