    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to convey my condolences and those of my family to the family, friends, relatives and colleagues of hon., Otieno Kajwang’. I want to say that my family was very close to the late Kajwang’. We got a telephone call at 1.43 a.m. yesterday. I had a serious situation in my house. My wife cried uncontrollably for over 30 minutes recounting her sympathies with Mrs. Kajwang’ and reciting how helpful, supportive, effective, trustworthy and committed the late Otieno Kajwang’ has always been. We were together in the same cabinet with hon. the late Otieno Kajwang’. He is one person who knows when a good idea should yield a better idea, the way hon. late Kijana Wamalwa used to say it. All this period, over two decades, I have had the chance to be on the same side with the late Otieno Kajwang’ and also on the opposite sides. When you are on the same side, he is a good partner to be with, but when he is on the opposite side he is a terrible and formidable opponent to work with. It is a big loss to the ODM leadership in our greater South Nyanza. We used to have this pride with him that, what is good for Suba people should also be good for Kuria people, and what is good for the people in Kasipul-Kabondo Constituency should be good for people of Rongo Constituency. Many a times he respected me in a unique way. Given the age, experience and at least the ability to analyze issues, he was capable of absorbing all these and was helpful in so many ways whenever I was attacked. Therefore, privately he would tell you the truth but in the open he would bring the drama, to achieve any other specific purposes. I convey my condolences to this great man, who knew when to joke and when to be serious. May the Lord rest his soul in eternal peace. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
