Wako","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":366,"legal_name":"Amos Sitswila Wako","slug":"amos-wako"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of myself, my family and the people of Busia, I send my sincere condolences to the family of Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello. I did not know the late Senator well or if at all. I did not listen to Radio Ramogi, but when he came to this House, he used to sit there. As it is my normal habit, I do not take too much interest in those people who talk a lot in the House, but in those who are a bit quiet. On a number of occasions when we were barely five people in this House - everybody had gone out - the quiet Senator for Migori would be seated there. I would go chat with him, go out and when I came in again, I would chat with him. Therefore, I can confidently say that precious in the sight of God are the deaths of the saints."}
