    "content": "Hon. Members, as most of you are aware, during the May recess, we lost the hon. Joseph Ngugi Nyumu, MP. Our late colleague and friend passed on after what the doctors have described as “cardiac arrest” in the morning of 21st May, 2014. He was laid to rest on Friday, 30th May, 2014. Our departed colleague was, until his death, the Member for Gatundu South Constituency, having made his debut in Parliament in March, 2013 on a TNA ticket. The late hon. Joseph Ngugi was an active Member of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, and the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee. Hon. Members, our late colleague had presented a petition regarding the eviction of persons from Muthang’a Farm in Gatundu South Constituency. The Report of the said petition was tabled by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands just before the May recess. In accordance with Standing Order No.226, in honour of our fallen colleague, I will allow 30 minutes during the afternoon sitting of tomorrow, Wednesday, 4th June, 2014 under the Order “Petitions” for Members to make comments on the Report of the Committee on the Petition. This will also present an opportunity for hon. Members to send sympathy messages to his family, relatives and constituents. Hon. Members, the finality that death comes with is a constant reminder that even as leaders we are just but ordinary mortals. Such a sad occurrence reminds us as leaders to do good and virtuous deeds at all times for the benefit of those who have bestowed on us the responsibility of representing them here. We will surely miss the intellect and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
