    "content": "I have not had the pleasure to have interacted with Mheshimiwa during her time in this Parliament. However, from the very positive attributes I hear from colleagues who were with her, she was, indeed, a woman of integrity, a woman who understood her role, a woman who was kind and a woman who really had the interest of her people at heart. On that length, I want to take this opportunity to thank the good people of Baringo South for having faith in her and having elected her when she was sick in a hospital bed. It is not easy to be a woman vying in a single constituency. Therefore, when the people of Baringo South elected her when she was sick, that means that her leadership was felt wider and around. I had the pleasure to visit her home. I saw she left a very young family. I am, therefore, making a very passionate appeal to the Government to ensure that her children are supported, especially the young daughter who is in school to finish her education. Some of us have an experience where we lost our spouses when they were Members of Parliament and the promises that we were given by the Government that we would be supported have never materialized. So, I just appeal that her family will be catered for. I, therefore, pray for her soul to rest in peace. Amen."
