    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was hoping that coming nearer you, I could catch your eye quickly. I am happy that you did. I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of the people of Kandara, to give my condolences to the family of the late Hon. Mutula Kilonzo, Senator, Makueni. I also want to give my condolences and those of the people of the Kandara to the CORD family because they have lost, like all Kenyans, a great Senator and Parliamentarian. I had the opportunity to watch Mr. Mutula in courts. He was a great legal practitioner, a professional lawyer, extremely skilled and committed to his work. Those who wanted to know his secret would ask him and he would say: “Work hard. Wake up early”. If you wanted to get Mr. Mutula in his office, you would get him by 5.50 a.m. seated behind his desk. I also had several occasions to meet him when he was Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I belong to the National Steering Women Committee and when we were campaigning and lobbying for the two-thirds gender principle legal framework, we visited his office on several occasions. He would easily give you a meeting and avail a cup of tea at very short notice and engage you personally, not leaving you with his technocrats. I was also surprised by his approach to the civil society. Whenever the civil society sought meetings with him in his office and most people would like to visit the Minister for Justice in his office, Mr. Mutula would in reverse give an appointment and visit the civil society at their offices. He was an extremely great legal mind. As a professional colleague, the legal fraternity has lost a very skilled excellent sharp mind. I send my condolences to this family and the entire nation."
