    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it has been our practice since the 10th Parliament. When we lose one of our own, we collectively contribute Kshs10,000 each towards the funeral expenses and to the family of the deceased. So, it has been our tradition. Usually, we do it through the check-off system. I am sure Hon. Nyenze was a great leader and Member of Parliament. I am sure all of us will make that little contribution. Hon. Speaker, you will have to give us some loan because there are some members who might not even have extra Kshs10,000 in their payslips because of servicing mortgages. It is true. After you take mortgage and car loan, you will hardly remain with anything in the payslip. People must know that. I think it is time people know that Kenyans, through Sarah Serem, have done what they have done. In the 10th, 11th and 12th Parliaments every time we lose one of our own, each of us contributes Kshs10,000. I am sure the family of Hon. Nyenze will always appreciate the contribution of his colleagues. Parliament is like a school. He is one of our colleagues and I really want to ask Members that once the burial date is set, all of us can spare time from our busy schedule to go and give our colleague, elder and leader a deserving send-off. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
