    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to condole the family of hon. Nyumu. Most importantly, I want to say that I was extremely touched when I learnt that our departed colleague was born the same year I was born.

Speaker, what is most important and what I received with a lot of humility is the fact that when the Deputy President was offering his condolence at the final service of our colleague, he said hon. Nyumu was the only Member of Parliament for whom the President of this Republic of Kenya voted for. I wish I would have claimed that space as well, because then I would have been more proud to sit in this Parliament. Hon. Speaker, most importantly, as a mother, I know where the widow of hon. Nyumu has been left. She is there with very little children who need to be taken care of. I agree with hon. Arati that it is upon this House to make sure that we take care of that family. I do not see why the standard of living that hon. Nyumu had set for his family should go down at any one point in time; having served as a Member of this Parliament. It is upon us to make sure that the dreams that our departed colleague had for his people, either through the good people of Kiambu County or this Eleventh Parliament, are realized. Hon. Speaker, I therefore, feel the space that our hon. Member left and pray to God that he is going to give his family a lot of strength so that they will accept the loss of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
