    "content": "Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I want to join the nation in passing condolences on my behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the people of Dagoretti South Constituency to the people of Nyeri on the loss of the Governor Dr. Wahome Gakuru, whom I happen to have personally known as he worked at the Vision 2030 Secretariat, and later on at the National AIDS Control Council, where he personally interviewed my wife and gave her an opportunity to serve at the Council. Later on, as Director of Strategy at Equity Bank, I worked closely with him as a consultant. I know it will go in history that we have produced one of the finest marketing campaigns – the member campaign for Equity Bank. Those who may never get to know him will not know why this nation mourns Dr. Gakuru. I want to say that we are mourning a great mind, an amazing thinker and a very good strategic planner. I take this opportunity to mourn with the Nyeri fraternity knowing that we were all eager to see how daktari was going to unveil the vision for Nyeri. I also want to add my voice to those who are here castigating others. Some of us who have the opportunity to use the social media are not using it wisely. I imagine what the feeling would be of a family that has not received news of the passing on of their loved one to see graphic images and very unkind words being transmitted through these digital platforms. I wish to add my voice to the voices of those of us who believe that there should be some sanitising of the digital platforms in this country. I also want to take this opportunity to say that Dr. Gakuru has left behind an amazing legacy. We shall be eternally grateful for the time he had had on earth. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
