    "content": "Hon. Speaker, as the House is aware, we have lost one of our colleagues, Hon. Francis Nyenze, EGH, who was the Member of Parliament for Kitui West and the immediate former Leader of the Minority Party. Hon. Speaker, as a tradition of this House, I just want to make my colleagues aware that usually, when we lose a sitting Member of Parliament, we make some token contribution to defray funeral expenses. Therefore, I have written a letter in the name of the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party asking the Speaker for a deduction of Kshs10,000 from each Member. I want to make you aware so that when you see a deduction of Kshs10,000 in your payslip, you know that it went to the funeral expenses of the late Hon. Francis Nyenze. Finally, I want to make this House aware that there is already a committee that has been constituted to plan and organise the burial arrangements of our brother. The Committee has 10 members of the National Assembly and four staff members. The members of the National Assembly are: (i) Hon. Aden Duale, EGH, MP – Leader of the Majority Party; (ii) Hon. John Mbadi, CBS, MP – Leader of the Minority Party; (iii) Hon. Makali Mulu, MP – Chair; (iv) Hon. Patrick Makau, MP; (v) Hon. Gideon Mulyungi, MP; (vi) Hon. Cecily Mbarire, MP; (vii) Hon. Jessica Mbalu, MP; (viii) Hon. Katoo ole Metito, MP; (ix) Hon. Chris Wamalwa, MP; and, (x) Hon. Joyce Kamene. Hon. Speaker, Hon. Makali will be chairing the committee because both the Leader of the Majority Party and I are committed with other things. Those are the members of that Committee. I do not want to say more because we have already used the Floor of this House to express our sympathies and condolences with the family, friends and relatives of the late Hon. Francis Nyenze. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
