    "content": "It is with deep sorrow that I convey to this House the demise of the late Wilson Litole, MP. The late Litole was an immediate former Member of Parliament for Sigor Constituency, West Pokot County. He passed on, on 25th September 2016 while undergoing treatment. The late Litole had a wonderful career as a public administrator before joining politics. He started working as a District Officer (DO) in 1987. He rose through the ranks to become the District Commissioner (DC) and a Commander of the Administrative Police Training College (APTC). He is a graduate of Glasgow University in the United Kingdom (UK). He did a masters degree in development. The late Wilson Litole joined politics in 2007 and was elected Member of Parliament for Sigor Constituency in the 10th Parliament. He was a good debater and a staunch member in various Committees including the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and the Local Authorities and Funds Accounts Committee. Hon. Litole was also appointed to become a Commissioner in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) from October 2011 to March 2013. On behalf of the Members from the West Pokot County and on my behalf, I wish to convey my condolences to the family and the people of Sigor Constituency for the great loss of that wonderful Member of Parliament. I would like to request that I circulate a list for Members who are willing to contribute to support the burial expenses for the late Litole. Lastly, I wish to kindly request that, in honour of the exemplary work that Mr. Litole rendered to this nation, this House observes a moment of silence. May God rest his soul in peace. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
