    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also wish to voice my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the late. A great philosopher once said: “Immortality lies not in the things that you leave behind but in the hearts of the people you touched.” I think we all remember the late Kajwang’, especially on how he touched our lives. We do not know how much he has done or what he did in his constituency. We do not know much about his family. Even some of us do not even care to know even about his academic background. However, the way he touched us, the way he motivated us and dealt with life is what has left us wondering how such a person, young as he was can be nipped. I also came to know hon. Otieno Kajwang’ in rallies when I was once a serious contester in the former powerful party of ODM, when I used to be a very serious member. He used to teach me on how to sometimes turn the crowd which could have been hostile into a lively crowd. He was just everything. I wish also to say that hon. Otieno Kajwang’ made serious contributions to this House in legislations, oversight and also representation. When hon. Otieno Kajwang’ was the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons, that Ministry was riddled with a lot of corruption, with ghosts of the past. Although hon. Otieno Kajwang’ did not clean that particular Ministry, I think he made serious changes. He was a member of ODM and I must confess that he was the face of humanity in ODM. The ODM we know now is also riddled with problems and chaos and I think it was only hon. Otieno Kajwang’ who could give life and breath to that party. We will really miss him for the many things he did. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
