    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also join my colleagues in conveying my very sincere message of condolences to the family, friends and relatives of the late governor and friend, Dr. Wahome Gakuru. I came to know Dr. Wahome Gakuru about 21 years ago as a 19-year old student. Dr. Wahome Gakuru taught me at Strathmore University when I was doing my CPS, in a unit called “Principles and Practice of Management”. Over the years, I came to know Dr. Gakuru even at the University of Nairobi, where he also taught my wife. We incidentally come from Nyeri County. He was an astute lecturer. He was not only knowledgeable in the practice and teaching of management, but he also had the requisite management skills in everything he did. He was an astute lecturer and a person not just knowledgeable in the practice and teaching of management but, also in the utilization of those requisite management skills in everything that he did, including in his later years as a politician when he sought to run for Governor in 2013. I can remember recently during the presidential campaigns we met at a campaign rally and I told him that he had now come to an area where I could also teach him a thing or two, having taught me principles of management. Therefore, this is indeed a great loss and not just to his family. My heart goes out to his young son and we pray for him because he is sitting for his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations at my former school, Alliance High School. It is instructive to note that over the weekend, Governor Wahome hosted the entire class of his son at his home in Runda and prayed with them. Let us pray for his family and also for the people of the great county of Nyeri that the almighty God may give them strength to deal with this unfortunate death and keep his soul in eternal peace."
