"content": "Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to condole and also mourn my good friend, my departed hero, hon. Jose, the MP for Gatundu South. I think I am one of the last Members of Parliament to see the late hon. Jose alive because I am the one who walked him to his vehicle on Tuesday before he passed on. In fact, there is a document I wanted him to sign and he told me that he wanted to sleep over it and we meet the following day so that he could sign it. It is a great loss to the people of Gatundu South. It is a great loss to the people of Kiambu and this National Assembly. Maybe unknown to many hon. Members is that hon. Nyumu was a very kind and philanthropic person. He actually gave out one of his palatial houses in Runda to be used as a rehabilitation center. In fact, when we went for the burial, you could see his footprints everywhere. We could see whatever he has done in that short time. We interacted with him, not just as a colleague here in Parliament but as a friend. I know for sure that hon. Nyumu was your good friend. I remember interacting with him when he brought up the issue of the Muthanga Farm which he passionately pushed. I believe that since I am also in the Departmental Committee on Lands we will finish what he started. I also know that the people of Kieni are mourning at the same time because the in-laws come from Kieni. At this juncture, I want to wish the family of hon. Nyumu all the best. We know for sure that God is with them. With those few remarks, I wish to say that may his soul rest in eternal peace."
