    "content": "Hon. Senators, the late Hon. George Muchai made his debut in national politics in the run-up to the 2013 General Elections when he successfully vied for the Kabete Constituency seat, Kiambu County. His swift mastery and grasp of parliamentary business ensured that his contributions were keenly followed by all. Particularly, his contributions on legislations related to the labour and education sectors were insightful and tremendously enriching to the matters under debate. He was an active Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare as well as the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly. On behalf of all Senators and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to take this opportunity to condole with the family of the late Hon. Muchai, the people of Kabete Constituency and all his friends for the loss of this great trade unionist and a people’s defender at this trying time. I also condole with the families of the late police constables Samuel Lekakeny Montata and Samuel Kimathi Kairingia who were security officers of the deceased Hon. Member and the late Stephen Ituu Wambugu, the driver of the late Hon. Muchai. As the Senate, we assure the families of our support during this period of great sorrow. As I conclude, I would like to appeal to the concerned security agencies to move with speed in investigating this heinous crime with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book. It is only through this that the nation, and indeed the families of the departed, will rest knowing that justice, and indeed the sacredness of every life as enshrined in the Constitution, will have prevailed. May his soul and the souls of his departed staff rest in eternal peace. As I promised yesterday, I will allow a few minutes for Senators to eulogise our departed colleague. I thank you. Please, proceed Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr."
