    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to talk on behalf of the people of Butula. I wish to pass our condolences to the people of Homa Bay County, Kajwang’s family and all Kenyans. As a country, we have lost a very good person, likeable and a patriot. Looking through his life history, he was doing all these things because he loved this country. Right from the time of his student politics through to the days of multi-party campaign; the second liberation and even when he served as a Minister, everything he did was because he loved this country and wanted the best for it. He was a brilliant politician, very simple and easy to get along with, with a high sense of humor. He was a very good public speaker, organizer and mobiliser. We all know that whenever the Mapambano song was sung or heard of, people automatically associated it with him. The whole country associated this song with him. They liked it and liked him for that. I remember one time when he came to attend a funeral in Busia, after he had made his comments, as he was turning to go and sit, the mourners reminded him that he had forgotten to sing Mapambano . In his usual humorous way, he turned back to the microphone and just sang the first three words. Though it was a funeral, everybody laughed and clapped. He was the kind of person that was likeable in that manner. So, I say pole to the family, all Kenyans and the people of Homa Bay on behalf of the people of Butula Constituency."
