    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in conveying my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the former President Mwai Kibaki. Today, we are paying tribute to Mama Lucy Kibaki and, as a woman, I would like to pass condolences from all the women of Kenya. We know that Mama Lucy Kibaki stood for the rights of girls and women. As one of my colleague said earlier, she spoke her mind even on issues that touched on ordinary citizens. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I remember when there was a tanker that burnt many people at Sachang’wan, she stood and asked for accountability and said it was important that the life of every Kenyan is taken seriously. I will always remember her for that and many other incidences. Also, from Samburu County, we will always pay tribute to her for fighting for the nomination of one of the greatest women from Samburu County; Hon. Maison Leshomo. She came to Samburu, liked her, liked her courage, what she stood for and regardless of what many have continued to say - that Hon. Maison is not educated - Mama Lucy Kibaki stood by her and said leadership sometimes is not about education but what you do for your people. So, for us as Samburu County and women of Kenya, we will always be grateful. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
