    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Probably, the last word will never be said about Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, but I take it that we will continue to remember him in our thoughts, in our speeches and, as it has been suggested by other people – that those who write their memoirs, those who write the history of this country, particularly the political history and our courts – that the work of Sen. Mutula Kilonzo will be concretized in many forms and in our political life as a whole. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is appropriate to appreciate the role that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo played in ensuring that we had a Senate. I do not think there were many people who were convinced that the Senate is an important institution in a devolved system of Government. Many thought that, actually, this should be a House of chiefs or a House of Provinces. So, I think it is befitting and quite appropriate for this Senate to fully show its support to this great Kenyan who, when it came to Constitution making, he did not just take it as a matter of duty, but as a matter of commitment for the country in terms of the current generation and for the future generation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
