    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to thank the Senate for adjourning to eulogize the late hon. Njiru who was a Member of Parliament for Ndia Constituency in Kirinyaga Constituency. He was a Member of Parliament from the 1980s where he was very instrumental in the founding of this nation. Those people who knew him, and I can see some of them here, will agree with me that this was a gentleman who did a lot for the country. He contributed a lot in Kirinyaga County and we join the residents of Kirinyaga County in eulogizing the departure of a great person in the name of James Njiru. He was known to have started the echo of KANU moto . He was appointed as an assistant minister by the former President, Mr. Moi and later on as a Minister for Political Guidance. During his tenure, he was the most powerful Minister. So, we are asking the Senate to really eulogize him. I sympathize with the family and the people of Kirinyaga for having lost such a person. It is also regretted that the Late Njiru passed on last Thursday in a Nairobi hospital suffering from cancer, according to the doctor’s report. He will be laid to rest on Saturday, 6th July, 2013 at his home in Kirinyaga. Therefore, I am appealing to those who can afford to come to do so and give a send off to the great hero. I beg to move. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
