    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Nakuru County has waited for so long for this particular moment. I take this opportunity to also condole the family of the late Otieno Kajwang, the Senator for Homa Bay County. When I woke up this morning, I was looking forward to continuation of the chance that I was to get in the House; to continue debating on the Bill that was moved by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. It came to me as a shock when I learnt that Sen. Kajwang had passed on. It is worth noting that last evening when we were leaving the House, I met Sen. Kajwang coming back and I asked him, “Senator, why are you going back?” He told me that there is something that he had to finish. That is the last time that I personally talked to Sen. Kajwang. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very painful that we have lost another Senator. It is important that we pray to God so that if there is anything in this House that is making us go out of his way, we pray that it stops because it is not right if we were to lose another Senator. It is very painful. As the head of the Nakuru delegation comprising of Sen. Chelule, Sen. Njoroge and the entire Nakuru County where we have Members from the Government and the Opposition, we are together with the family of Sen. Kajwang. We are also together with the people of Homa Bay County. Anybody mentioning the name Homa Bay, the name that comes into one’s mind is “Bado mapambano . ” Anybody saying the name “ Bado m apambano, ” the picture that comes into one’s mind is Sen. Kajwang. Some of us, when he was saying “Bado mapambano, ” never took “Bado mapambano” as something that was negative. We took it as a way of ensuring that Kenyans have better lives. It is worth noting that Sen. Kajwang played a very big role in the second liberation. Since many people have talked so much and said very great words of wisdom and appreciation about the Senator, I would like to tell the family, the Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) leaders and the other people that we are together and we will be together in this particular journey right up to the end. Rest in peace, Sen. Kajwang."
