    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy. It came as a shock when one of my sons who reside in Langata called me. He had gone to the village. He called and said; I have heard there is one Senator who has died. Then, I asked him, “What do you mean?” he said, but at least, it is not you because I am talking to you. He said that word was just going round that one Senator had died. I thought it was a joke. Since I was in the village where there is was no mobile network coverage, I finally went to a place with mobile network coverage and learnt that it was the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy. I could not believe it. It is very sad. However, that is life. As the saying goes, “the Lord is the one who gives and he takes.” He only gives us opportunities to live and do the best we can do. He did that to the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy. The family was blessed with a very humble man. I learned humility from him. He was very humble. He had no issues even though by the time he was coming to Parliament, he had a name, the Boy family. When some of us were joining as fresh legislators, I remember his input during the Committee on Delegated Legislation where, as the Vice Chair, it was basically a very new Committee; most of us were fresh but he would give us his input. Whenever you called for a meeting, you were always guaranteed that you would get him. He would always attend the meeting without any much ado. When you needed quorum or any intervention, he was always there. Just recently, he shocked me by reminding me that the first time he saw me was way back in 1992. I looked at him and said, “Hallo, are you telling me the truth?” He The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
