    "content": "He was a brilliant person who during debate – I did not know him in private very well – he would be very clear, open and did not have anything to hide. He was not influenced by insinuations that politicians like using when they are talking. Therefore, he was a great man who has just left us. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know what people are going to do in this country and even all over the world when they speak about a person who has just departed because they simply talk so much of what he did and what he was but I think time has come when we should be dictated as parliamentarians by what we have done for the people of our constituencies. When you are elected, you must know that time will come when you must go. People can make a lot of statements about you but the biggest responsibility lies on the people that you are supposed to represent. I think we need to try as much as possible to understand somebody from his deeds here and at home because we were all elected to serve our people. Our people are more important than what we are doing here. They brought us here to do something for them. I am not trying to imply that Sen. Kajwang did not do anything for his own people because they would not have been electing him several times as they have done. I think he deserves what all Senators have said about him. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I used to call refer to Sen. Kajwang as Jaluo while he referred to me as Kikuyu . For the little time I knew him, I think he was a very good person that you always wanted to talk to. Yesterday as he was walking home, we walked together to the parking lot and as usual, he wished me a good night. I will always remember him for that moment when we parted outside the main building. When somebody dies, some people may come out and talk of how good he was, but none of us would dare say what he did to them. Time has come for us to have that courage. We should be open and stop being hypocrites. We should believe in nothing but the truth."
