    "content": "Many new Members may not be aware but Hon. Grace Kipchoim fought a very tough battle after being diagnosed with cancer about five years ago. She has spent a greater part of the 11th Parliament and even this Parliament in hospital. I want to thank the people of Baringo South who elected her in 2013. I had the opportunity to campaign for her despite many security challenges in that constituency. They elected her despite being a lady under the URP party then. In 2017, they elected her when she was still in hospital and I sincerely want to thank the people of Baringo South because they did not look at Grace as a woman, and in 2017 they still valued her contribution in terms of development to her constituency. I will do consultations with my colleague the Leader of the Minority Party and we might ask our colleagues to make some contributions as has been the tradition when one of us leaves us. If you see some requests we will make to the Clerk… Since the substantive Speaker is away, under your leadership Hon. Deputy Speaker, arrange for the Members of Parliament to go and visit the family in their home in Nairobi. Once the burial date is confirmed, then all of us can give our colleague a befitting send off."
