Kittony","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13110,"legal_name":"Zipporah Jepchirchir Kittony","slug":"zipporah-jepchirchir-kittony"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to pay tribute to my special son. I also want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for representing us at the funeral service. Kenya has lost a great leader, the Senate has lost a great debater; very eloquent, full of humour, a great man, supporting devolution. The people of Kwale have lost a great legislator and a family has lost a father. We will miss him greatly. I served with Boy Juma Boy in the Eighth Parliament in those days of KANU and he truly was a humble man. I know he appreciated me as a mother and I will miss his humility and love. I ask God to keep his family together and provide every need that they expect to get. I know it is not easy to replace him as the head of the home and we pray the Almighty God to keep his family together. I truly pay tribute to this great son of Kenya. May God place his soul in eternal peace."}
