    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to thank all the hon. Members of this House, on behalf of the late hon. Joseph Ngugi. As you all know, I was the Chair of the funeral committee. On behalf of his family, I would like to pass a special and sincere recognition for the role that you, hon. Members, played towards the journey of resting him. We thank you for your generous contribution. To be very honest, in terms of cash donations, we received over Kshs2 million. In terms of check-off system, we received over Kshs3.3 million. This was one occasion when I saw Members of Parliament united in grief. It did not matter what political party one came from. It was a very good example that we set for the constituents of Gatundu South. I would only wish that we could show leadership in other areas in the same way we were united during the send off of hon. Nyumu. For sure, your generosity touched the family and the constituents of Gatundu South. Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank you. When I came to your office, you went outside the call of duty to assist and within a short time; we were able to put systems together. The Clerk of the National Assembly and all the Members that I appealed to, in terms of assistance, I thank you more sincerely, on behalf of the family. This morning, I was with the wife of the late Ngugi Nyumu. She requested me that if I get a chance, I tell you all, hon. Members, that she was touched by your generosity and the way you condoled the family in one way or the other. As I said, hon. Jose was very close to me. In terms of the cause for humanity, he was running Bridgestone Rehabilitation Centre, showing that he had a big heart for the people of this nation. As the Chair of the funeral committee, I appreciate and thank you more sincerely for your generosity. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
