    "content": " Order Senators! I have one Communication to make on the demise of Hon. George Mukuru Muchai. Hon. Senators, as you may be already aware, on the morning of Saturday, 7th February, 2015, the Hon. George Mukuru Muchai, Member for Kabete Constituency, together with his two bodyguards and a driver, lost their lives when they were attacked by armed thugs along Kenyatta Avenue, Nairobi. Records in Parliament indicate that the late Hon. George Muchai was born on 22nd July, 1949. He attended St. Michael Primary School between 1956 and 1963 and Highway Secondary School, Nairobi between 1964 and 1967. He obtained a Certificate in Electrical Installation Trade Test from the Railway Training School in 1974. Later, the late Hon. Muchai attended the Kenya Polytechnic where he was awarded a Certificate in Electrical Installation Technology. He thereafter undertook several courses on labour matters, regionally and internationally. The late Hon. Muchai was an active and vibrant labour unionist, having been elected as the General Secretary of the Bakery, Confectionery, Food Manufacturing and Allied Workers’ Union in 1984, a position he still held until his demise, owing to his passion for and responsiveness to the needs of the people he represented. His empathy and humility largely endeared him to the workers of this nation and saw him overwhelmingly elected as the Deputy Secretary General of the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) in 2001. Indeed, he never lost an opportunity to air the problems that befall the masses, especially workers, whom he continued to represent for the last three decades.
