    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did not think that I will not have something to say about Sen. Mutula to essentially get us to the close of Business today.

I know that our Leaders of Majority and Minority will be there, so I do believe that those who will make it should represent us with the kind of gravitas that is deserved; so should our Speaker, who I believe will also be attending that event. As Sen. Orengo has said, Sen. Mutula is a man who people can write scripts and scripts of his accolades. Maybe, we might never exhaust them. Today it was very humbling also to hear the simple man that he was; I think we heard the human side of it. For too long, we just heard the intellectual part – how smart he was; how he did this, how he wrote this Constitution – but from his family, they told us how humane he was, how he used to send valentines cards, how he played with his family, how he had the culture of giving gifts and many other things. What also became very outstanding for those of us who are still in the process of building families, including yourself, Mr. Deputy Speaker, is to ensure that we follow part of his characteristics and traits so that we build the modern Kenyan family where people are encouraged to take positions and to take interests that befit their aspirations; not to force our children into whatever we think is right for them. We can give them guidance, but I think that institutionally played very well; that he had created an extremely important institution of family.
