    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me also take this opportunity to send my deepest and sincere condolences to the late hon. Njiru, former Member of Parliament from Kirinyaga. The late Njiru was known to me and indeed, to many other politicians who are now here in the Senate. So, we at the Senate feel it is appropriate to send our collective condolences to the family of the late James Njiru. For those who come from the region, the Late Njiru is well known as KANU moto and also known in other dear terms as “brother”. He was a giant in Kirinyaga politics together with others like Njunu and Njogu Kasam with whom they developed politically in the 1980s. The late Njiru will be remembered for his high drama in politics. I remember at one time when they came to Meru with the former President, Mr. Moi. The whole presidential convoy was in Meru and Moi decided to fly back with a chopper and left his limousine to Njiru, who passed through Nanyuki, Karatina and Kirinyaga. Everywhere he stood, he would pop up from the limousine and greet the people. Of course, people would think it was Moi and we all thought that by the time he arrives in Nairobi, he would be sacked. But former President Moi had a liking for him. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the entire political leadership of Kirinyaga and this country. May the Lord rest his soul in eternal peace. Thank you."
