    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand here, I am yet to come to terms with the reality that our friend and colleague, Sen. Gerald Otieno Kajwang, is no longer with us. Yesterday, a few minutes to 4.00 p.m., I walked to the Chamber. I had consultations with the Clerk and I discovered that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill was one of the Bills that had been placed for possible debate yesterday. I was to move that Bill. Before that Bill was the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, 2014. The Clerk told me: “We do not know how long the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill will take. In case you are ready, prepare. Once we are through with this Bill, you can move the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. I decided to go back to my office so that I could have some quiet time to go through the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill and prepare my notes for moving it in the event that the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill would be concluded. Before I left I decided to do what I normally do, and many of us do in this House and it is a good tradition, I decided to cross the Floor and greet a few of our colleagues on the Minority side before I leave the Chamber. I remember I greeted two Senators, I think Sen. Obure and another Senator. The third Senator was Sen. Otieno Kajwang. Surprisingly, he insisted that I sit down and we had a chat at the back for a few minutes. What surprised me, yesterday, Gerald Otieno Kajwang was a very lively person. He was normally jovial, but yesterday, there was some extra ordinary joy. We sat there and talked about many things including politics. We joked. I remember him asking about The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
