"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On my own behalf, and on behalf of my constituents, I would like to pass our condolences to the family, friends and relatives of Hon. Dennis Akumu. Mr. Dennis Akumu was a true fighter for democracy and freedom. When I was a Form Four student, on the eve of the historic Saba Saba Rally of 7th July 1990, Mr. Dennis Akumu was among the few gallant Kenyans who were arrested alongside Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and taken away so that they could not attend the rally. He fought for the rights of all Kenyans regardless of their race, tribe and all other sectarian interests. Having been a trade unionist, he set the stage and agenda for trade unionism in this country. When he was at the helm of COTU, it was real. Trade unions worked not like now when they are simply avenues for people to pursue their selfish interests. I would like to pass my condolences to the family."
