    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support the Motion. As you are aware, this morning we went through the burial rites in the church. I just want to stand here first as a member of the funeral committee, to thank the Senators. They rose to the occasion immediately this death was announced and they suspended all Business; they eulogized their colleague and even visited the family. This morning, I had occasion, on behalf of the family, to thank the Senate very sincerely for that action they took and for the assistance they gave. May I, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, also take this opportunity to also appraise the Senators of the programme. It runs like this: mourners depart Nairobi at 7.00 a.m. to arrive at Mbooni by 10.00 a.m. Mourners are then expected to be seated by 10.00 a.m., when the programme will begin. For those of you who are not familiar with the route, there are two ways of going to Mbooni; the first one is the Nairobi-Machakos Road where you proceed towards Kitui Road to a place called Masii. Once there, turn and go all the way to Kiima. That is the road most recommended because it is tarmacked. I think it is only two kilometres which have not been tarmacked nearer to the home, and the contractor is on site. So, that is the most recommended route; the Machakos-Kitui-Masii and then to the funeral place. We will try to signpost the road. The other alternative road is if you follow the Machakos-Wote Road, and on reaching somewhere called Kyambalasi, you turn. That will be the only path that is tarmacked. After that, you will have to travel for six kilometres on an earth road. You can only use that road if you have a four-wheel drive because it is hilly and the road is not very good. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought this information would be useful to my colleagues who may wish to travel. Otherwise, we remain most indebted to the Senate as a whole, to both the staff and the Senators, for the support they have given and for visiting the family and for condoling them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
