    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to join my colleagues in mourning a very good friend of mine, the late Sen. Kajwang. Like many colleagues have said, I was woken up about midnight by the Member for Mwingi Central who informed me of the untimely death of Sen. Kajwang. I was shocked beyond words and true to the scriptures, I realised that we are flowers. We blossom and wither suddenly because we had spent the best part of yesterday with Sen. Kajwang. This morning, Sen. Ongoro, Sen. Moi and I visited the family of the late Kajwang at Runda. There, we found a very shocked and devastated family and mourners who had gathered there after learning of the sad news. I first knew the late Sen. Kajwang 17 years ago. We were all elected at the same time during the Eighth Parliament. We worked very closely. During the Ninth Parliament, as you may be aware, I was the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. Owing to the quality of debate of the late Sen. Kajwang, he always caught my eye. There was no time that he wanted to speak that he could not speak. We had recognized him as a good debater. I was also the Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) after the passing on of hon. Job Omino, and Sen. Kajwang was the legal advisor of the LDP. From that time, I relied on him to give me advise to the extent that until yesterday, I referred to him as the “AG” because he was the Attorney-General of our party. He referred to me as “PC.” He was a very humble man, a very able legislator who put his points across in an eloquent and persuasive manner. Everybody regardless of his political persuasion tended to agree with him. Where you disagreed with him, you agreed to disagree in the most 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."
