    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of my family and the people of Soy Constituency, I would like to pass our sincere condolences to the family of the late Governor of Nyeri County. As has been said before by Hon. Members, the late Governor of Nyeri County happens to have visited Uasin Gishu County and we hosted him for two nights as we went around the campaign trail in Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia counties campaigning for the re- election of His Excellency the President. The late Governor Gakuru was a very humble man. We shared a meal the first time I sat with him in Eldoret. I gathered that he was a man of vision. As we mourn him today, I just took note of how much our social media is insensitive when a senior member of society passes on. I think it is upon us as Members of this House to try and see whether we can make some regulations on how people convey messages of death of such a senior member in society. That is because we saw so many photographs. I do not know how the family came to learn of the death, but I just pray that they did not learn about it through the social media. I think as Hon. Members of this Republic, we need to safeguard and be sensitive to such issues. We went to the Lee Funeral Home and I want to thank all Kenyans who came to condole with his family. The Deputy President took time off his busy schedule to come and be with the family and spend some time with them. Once again, I say sorry and may God rest his soul in eternal peace. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
