    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues and send my condolences to the family of the late Governor for Nyeri and the people of Nyeri, including the Senator for Nyeri. I want to acknowledge three quick issues. First, at the inception of devolution in Kenya we had a big problem of the working relationship between Governors and Senators. However, the Governor for Nyeri showed an exceptional example by having one of the most cordial and notable working relationships with the Senator for Nyeri. That was an exceptional show of leadership. Secondly, let me also acknowledge that, exceptionally, the Governor for Nyeri stood very firm. I remember when his impeachment case was brought here, he stated clearly to this House that the reason he was here was because he said in public that he would not bow to pressure to bribe Members of the County Assembly (MCA). He was even offered another olive branch to avoid impeachment, but he refused and said that he would not bribe. He stood as an exemplary leader. Lastly, I wish to acknowledge that this is a leader who has set a unique pace for the people of Nyeri. He is a landmark in devolution."
