    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is, indeed, a great honour to the family of Hon. Ngala Mwendwa, the people of Kitui County and Kitui Central for this House to read the history of Hon. Ngala Mwendwa and allow a one-minute silence in his honour. As you have rightly put it, Hon. Ngala is a very respected Mzee in Kitui County and in Kenya in general because of the immense contribution he has made to this country. On my own behalf and on behalf of the good people of Kitui Central, I want to take this opportunity to join other Kenyans and the family to mourn the passing on of Hon. Ngala Mwendwa. This old man has left a very stable family. God has been very gracious to him in that he has given him over 90 years to be in this world. I would like to request Hon. Members to emulate the kind of service Hon. Ngala Mwendwa has given to this country. This country would go far if, as Members of Parliament and as leaders of this nation, we tried our best to give this kind of service. Hon. Eliud Mwendwa Ngala sat in the first Cabinet after Kenya became independent. I think they were only two remaining but now it is only one. It is a great honour for these Kenyans who started this country from scratch to have seen this country grow over time to where it is today. All of us now enjoy the fruits of their contribution and hard work. With those remarks, we are mourning as a region and we can only ask the rest of Kenyans to support and join us in mourning this hero. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you."
