    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on my own behalf, my family and the people of Narok County, I rise to express my condolences to my two good friends. I remember that on 17th December, 2015, was the first time that I shared a podium with the late Hon. Ken Okoth through the Jeff Koinange Live (JKL) Show. I came to appreciate him as a person who really cared about the community, and who was a brilliant brain that I would surely miss. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 10th June, 2018, I travelled together with the Governor of Kakamega County to do a fundraiser for Lorna Laboso Secondary School, where we were hosted by the late Governor, Hon. (Dr.) Joyce Laboso. I found her to be very loving, caring, a leader, a mother and a person who cared for the people of Bomet. The people of Bomet have lost a great leader, who tried to unite them. I vividly remember that when we sat down together, all she cared about was leaving a legacy for her late sister. She really wanted to contribute so much to that school so that it could keep the memory of her sister alive. Last night, I kept on thinking about how much she cared about her sister; what about her now? It, therefore, behooves us, as leaders, to take this opportunity, now that we have lost two great minds, who are our colleagues, to think about how we live our lives; and to think about this issue of cancer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know we will be debating that issue in detail, but it is about time we really considered about old days when we used to control what we ate. There are many chemicals in this country, which have spread all over. Maybe these are the things that are destroying our population. We have to be bold enough to compare our life with that of our forbearers to see how they led theirs and what it is that we are picking up that is destroying us."
