    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to condole my friend, Sen. Kajwang. He is somebody who has been described as a rare person; rare in this Senate and in the past Parliament. I know he was capable of changing to the tunes of what is important to be noted. When I was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Kirinyaga Central Constituency in 2002 and he was the MP for Mbita Constituency, I remember he steered the then politics of Kibaki Tosha. He was a rare person, who did it so eloquently and diligently to the point of satisfying everybody including what he used to call the Mt. Kenya mafia. That is the time he embraced the courageous fighters of democracy; people who wanted to change this country. He fitted there. He was admired and he focused on what he wanted people to know. He was fearless and friendly if you so wanted him to be and opposed an issue when it was necessary to do so. He was therefore an articulate speaker. His oration was unparalleled. That is why all of us are mourning, the Senator. If he was to be done away with, he would have been done away with in the University of Nairobi where he was a student leader. After being expelled, he fought his way to Makerere University and came back to lead Kenyans. This was somebody who would have been lost but thanks to God that we saved a soul that we least thought would be the way he is now. We thank him for the contribution he has made to this country. On behalf of the entire Kirinyaga community, the Kirinyaga County, all the voters and supporters who mean well in Kirinyaga County, we mourn the our departed friend, Sen. Kajwang. May he rest well in eternal peace. Amen."
