    "content": "Hon. Members, the late Mutula Kilonzo made his political debut in 2003 when he was nominated by KANU as a Member of Parliament. In 2007 he was elected Member of Parliament for Mbooni Constituency. Hon. Members will also remember that he served as one of the mediators in the Panel of the Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation Process in early 2008, helping to steer the country back to the path of peace. In April 2008, the late Mutula Kilonzo was appointed Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development. In December the same year he was decorated as Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart of Kenya (EGH). The late Member also served between May 2009 and March 27th, 2012 as Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and thereafter as the Minister for Education on 28th March, 2012 till his election as Senator for Makueni County. In his contribution in the House, the late Mutula was an avid debater and stickler to detail. He will also be remembered for his role in the Constitutional process as the Minister in charge. His colleagues in the Senate and Parliament in general shall miss his contribution and counsel particularly when dealing with the remaining legislation relating to the implementation of the Constitution and more so on devolution."
