    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in conveying my condolences on behalf of myself, the great people of Mavoko and Machakos at large. True, Hon. Nyenze was a man of God. He was a Christian straight from high school to the university. He was a member of the Christian Union. That was guided by his father having been a pastor. Nyenze was a soft spoken person who avoided confrontation and verbal exchange. Hon. Nyenze is one special person. In the 11th Parliament, if you look at his surroundings, he was supposed to answer back to Hon. Duale, who is not very easy. Hon. Nyenze also used to have a deputy in the name of Midiwo. Hon. Nyenze handled them with a lot of ease. That one made those of us who were here in the 11th Parliament learn a lot of humility and good manners from Hon. Nyenze. I have no doubt that the people of Kitui West have lost a leader. As the Wiper fraternity, we have lost a tall man, a leader and an advisor. This morning when I went to see Hon. Nyenze at the morgue, I saw his family, his children and his wife. It is very sad. I ask this House that we pray for that family and the people of Kitui West that God provides another leader, and that even us as Ukambani leaders, get another person who will fit in the shoes of Hon. Nyenze. I remember one time when Nyenze stood at a rally and told everybody in Kitui to vote for President Uhuru. That was during the time of campaigns but the way we handled the matter, and the way Nyenze handled it, was very unique. Nobody can handle such matters like him. He used to call me “His worship” and I used to call him “leader”. At times I am arrogant. Sometimes I am big headed but through Nyenze, today I am a better person. I have lost a good person. I will carry his legacy. I am going to be a good person. In fact, I am going to be a church man. I pray to God to rest his soul in eternal peace."
