"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Let me also add my voice and heart to sending my condolences to the family of the late, my friend Senator Otieno Kajwang’. It has been said here that the father of Senator Kajwang’ also got a shock and got a heart attack on receipt of the news of his demise. I spoke to people who are at his bedside in Kisumu and they said he is well and recovering: That is by way of information that he is doing well. On Friday, Senator Kajwang’ was involved in a road accident; a serious one. His car, the vehicle he was travelling in to Homa Bay County, a place called Oyugis, rolled a couple of times. Fortunately he had his seat belt on. His bodyguard broke an arm and the driver was seriously injured. So, it was death that was coming. In fact, when Senator Kajwang’ addressed the ODM meeting in a place called Sikri, he even quoted a Bible verse but said he believed that the power of the Lord had saved him from death. That was last Friday and this is a very grim reminder. Only yesterday was one year anniversary of my late friend George Thuo, who was with us here. I find it very difficult that Senator Kajwang’ just like George Thuo was with me like on a Thursday before he died on a Sunday. Yesterday as I was whipping hon. Members to come to the House Business Committee (House Business Committee), I met Kajwang’ walking into the Lounge. It is sad because at exactly midnight at around 12.08 a.m. I got a phone call from hon. Junet Mohamed that hon. Kajwang’ had died."
