    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also wish to pass my heartfelt condolences to the family of Senator Otieno Kajwang’. Senator Kajwang’ is one of the people I respect so much because after my law school, he was one of my pupilage masters and taught me how to handle cases in court. I appeared with him at the time of the 1992 petitions after the first multiparty elections. He was a very jovial person. He was the one who believed that when you were a junior lawyer accompanying a senior lawyer, and you went for tea, it was the senior lawyer who paid for the tea. I learnt that from him. Senator Kajwang’ was a resident in my constituency and, on behalf of the people of Westlands, my family and myself, I wish to send my heartfelt condolences to the people of Mbita, the CORD Coalition, the ODM fraternity and also to hon. Members of this august House, because we have lost a dear friend, a good leader, a person who believed in the ideals of his party and respected the rules of the party; ODM. Senator Otieno Kajwang’ was a very jovial and humorous person. Wherever he was in political rallies, he would raise the mood even when people were not feeling that jovial. He would sing his Mapambano song . Senator Kajwang’s death is a big loss to us as a country, as a party and the people of Mbita have lost their leader and a great son of this nation. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you."
