    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the family, friends and relatives of the departed colleague. It is indeed a big loss to the great people of Baringo South and of course her family. It is indeed a big loss to the great people of Baringo South, her family, Baringo County and indeed, this country. We have lost a very hardworking committed leader and we want to join the rest of the Members to wish the family God’s peace at this very trying moment. The late Hon. Grace Kipchoim served in the 11th Parliament and the 12th Parliament. Baringo South Constituency neighbours my constituency and we have a common challenge of insecurity. For the time she served as the Member of Parliament for Baringo South, we have been able to work very closely with her in dealing with that challenge of insecurity. She was a very brave leader and she stood firm. Given the situation in that constituency, it would have been very difficult for one to imagine a woman… When I talk of a woman, I am not demeaning leaders of that gender, but because of the challenge that we were facing in that region, she stood firm, she was elected, and re-elected again in 2017, when she was in hospital. It confirms how committed she was to her constituency and to her people. Because you have directed we take a very short moment, I want to inform Members of this House that, indeed, I am the chair of the committee planning for the burial, which I can now confirm will be on 5th May 2018. I would like to agree with our Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. Mbadi that, at this very trying moment for the family, we all come together in making contributions so that we can support the family. Finally, we will be having a session on 2nd May at Tin Tin Restaurant, of course for members of the public to also come together and support this challenge. I would also like to take this chance to appeal to our colleagues and friends who will have time to also be there so that we can support the family in prayer and in contributions towards that particular situation. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to say pole ."
