    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to condole with the family of the late Chelagat Mutai. I must say that I never had a chance to interact with her, but from what I have read in the newspapers, I believe she inspired many people, more so women to venture into politics. I believe she was among the very first Kalenjin women to be elected to Parliament. She was a true fighter for democracy. She took head on the mighty and those that were against democracy. She opened up the democratic space for this country. I believe that the political space that we are enjoying today came about because of Chelegat Mutai. Indeed, she was referred to as among the “seven bearded sisters” although she did not have any beard. I believe that was because of her fight for democracy. This Government neglected her during the hour of need. Therefore, I must join my colleagues to call upon the Government to take care of this country’s heroes. The Government should take care of those who have fought for democracy and the people who have led this country in the fight for democracy. I must condole with her family and pray that the Almighty God rests her soul in eternal peace."
