    "content": "who has been a very close friend of mine. You will remember that in the 10th Parliament, he was representing Malava while I was representing the entire Mumias Constituency. I remember Shitanda as a very articulate man, especially on sugar matters. We who are cooperating and working together with the Jubilee Government are really hit hard because Hon. Shitanda was our supporter number one. We were working together with him in marketing and popularising the Jubilee Coalition. I want to take this opportunity to warn politicians who like taking advantage of funerals to make statements that are not in favour of the bereaved family and the situation. We have had previous functions being misused by politicians. Therefore, I just want to request that anybody willing to come and join us in western Kenya should come with a clear mind to say pole to the family and the people of Malava. We have also provided a condolence book which we are going to display outside the Chamber. Just like you said earlier, we would expect leaders who are here to take advantage of this day and put their remarks that will go a long way to portray their feelings to the family. Hon. Shitanda had been in hospital for quite some time and has left behind a huge bill. I therefore, request that any Member who is willing to support the family should assist us by giving some contribution. We will prepare a list, with your permission, Hon. Speaker, so that Members can also assist. I want to pray to God to give the family strength at this time of mourning, so that we can finalise this function. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
