    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Today is a very sad day, indeed. On behalf of the people of Uriri and the people of Migori County, I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Senator Otieno Kajwang’. We were saddened by the news of the passing on of the late Otieno Kajwang’ which we received at around 2 a.m. last night. My deepest sympathies go to my friend hon. T.J. Kajwang’, who is a colleague in Parliament, the family of the late Otieno Kajwang’ and the people of Homa Bay County in general. May God give the family comfort and peace during this trying moment. We have lost an accomplished politician. He had very unique soft skills. He was able to build teams very easily. He was able to pull crowds. He was an articulate leader. A man with skills to mobilize even people you may think cannot be easily mobilized. We were with him on Friday at a meeting in Sikri in Oyugis, which was anticipated to be stormy. Through his skills, he moderated the crowds and we talked and reached a compromise. We have lost a great leader. He was a pillar in CORD as a Coalition. His loss will leave a gap that may not be easy to fill. He was a staunch supporter of ODM Party and the ODM leader, the Right Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. Indeed, we have lost a great Kenyan and we pray that God rests his soul in eternal peace."
