    "content": "We are eulogizing Mutula, Sen. Boni. I did not attack you. I stated a fact. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the end of the case, the judge had this to say:- “I have served on this Bench for a long time and listened to many lawyers. I want to pay tribute to Senior Counsel, Mutula Kilonzo, for the manner in which he graciously prosecuted his case and convinced even the unconvinced, to see that the law and facts were on his side.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, those were the words of the judge. Judges hardly go out of their way to praise lawyers who appear before them. That was Mutula for you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to give an opportunity to others to eulogize our colleague. We, in the CORD fraternity, have lost one of our best advisers, legal mind and man committed to the excellence that we are looking for in this country and to see that those who aspire to high office must meet the content, letter and spirit of Chapter Six of our Constitution. That was Mutula Kilonzo. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Bungoma County that I represent and my co-principals in CORD, the former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga and the former Vice-President, Kalonzo Musyoka, I want to send our heartfelt condolences to the family of our departed brother, the people of Makueni whom he represented and the entire legal fraternity to which he was such a proud member and all members were proud of. May the good Lord rest our brother’s soul in eternal peace. May I request, as I second, that since I have no doubt that there will be as many colleagues who want to speak on this Motion as possible, that you use your discretion under Standing Order No.1 to limit time, so that everybody can have an opportunity to say something. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
