    "content": " Hon. Senators, before we go to the next Order, I have a communication to make. This is a message of condolence on the demise of Kitui West Member of Parliament (MP), Hon. Francis Nyenze, on 6th December, 2017. It is with profound shock, sorrow and sadness that I join the family, relatives and friends of the late Kitui West Member of Parliament (MP), Hon. Francis Nyenze, in mourning his sudden demise. The cruel hand of death has plucked one of our most steadfast and dependable colleagues from our midst. On my own behalf and on behalf of the Senate, we send our most sincere and deepest condolences to the family of our brother, the late Hon. Nyenze, the people of Kitui County and, indeed, the entire Kenyan nation at this difficult time. The late MP was a gentleman and an astute leader who will be remembered for his sound development record, hard work, good demeanor and love for the people of Kitui County. He will be remembered as a leader who served his people and, indeed, the entire Republic of Kenya with dedication and commitment. He had a chequered political career, beginning as an elected MP under the former ruling party, KANU, and later rose to become the Minority Leader in the National Assembly during the 11th Parliament. He also served as a minister in the Ministry of Environment and Heritage and the Ministry of Sports in 1997 and 2001 respectively. Hon. Nyenze will fondly be remembered as a forthright lawmaker who clearly spoke his mind. The National Assembly will doubtlessly be a poorer House without the hilarious contributions and experience of the late MP. May the almighty God grant his family, relatives, friends, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
