"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Indeed, the sting of death and its finality is something that I can see we are all struggling to come up with words to define. I want to definitely, on behalf of the National Alliance (TNA), on behalf of myself and my family to pass my condolences to the family and friends of Senator Otieno Kajwang’; a man I did not know for too long directly, but at least for the past two years I have come to know. Senator Kajwang was a Member of my Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity. His contribution is something that we will always remember in the Committee. Senator Kajwang’ is a man who embodied political maturity. Despite coming from different political sides, he was a person who would always find time to talk. He realized that believing in different political convictions does not mean enmity. I regard him as a man who was my friend. We would discuss weighty national issues despite what would be seen in the rallies. He is a man I respect and I urge my colleagues to always remember that as much as we are in different political sides, it does not necessarily mean we are enemies. I, therefore, condole the constituents and members of the public from Homa Bay County. They have, indeed, lost a visionary and strong politician. I especially would like to condole with the CORD fraternity because you have lost a strong warrior. You have lost a strong leader and a strategist. Even for us, we had our eyes on him a lot if we wanted to know the mood. Finally as I finish, I would like to urge hon. Members that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
