Allow me to join you and the entire House to convey my condolences to the family, friends, the people of Migori and particularly the people of the little village of Kanyimach where Ben Oluoch Okello was born and brought up. Between Migori and Homa Bay, there is very little distinction besides the borders that have been imposed because in Migori, people of Kadem and Karungu do not marry the people of Ndhiwa straddle two counties. I feel like I have lost a fellow leader but more importantly I have lost a friend. Sen. Wetangula has already spoken to it but the chair I sit on was where the late Otieno Kajwang’ sat and the chair that Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri sits on is where the late Boy Juma Boy used to sit. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Snr. left just before the other two. So, this is the fourth loss of a Member of this important House. It does not mean that Members of the Senate are immune to death because we are Kenyans just like anybody else."}
