"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you and the nation and on behalf of myself and my family, the people of Bungoma and the FORD Kenya fraternity to give our condolences to the families of our departed brother Hon. Ken Okoth, the MP for Kibera Constituency and Mama Joyce Laboso, the Governor of Bomet County. Hon. Ken Okoth brought life and gusto to youthful leadership in this country in general and Nairobi in particular. Representing a complex constituency like Kibera was not easy yet he did it with ease. He was popular, amiable, successful and, above all, a friend to all. We had an opportunity to visit Hon. Okoth in hospital in Paris and he had such a strong will to live. He told us that he knew he did not have much time to live. However, he also knew that in his short time he had lived, he had done a lot of things. Hon. Okoth will go down in history as one of the few young Members of Parliament who have turned round a constituency and left it better than they found it. We pray that his soul may rest in eternal peace and the people of Kibera will have an opportunity to have yet another Ken Okoth to carry on with the crusade and the journey that he had started. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Hon. Laboso is a woman like no other. She fought hard, she distinguished herself, was successful and, above all, she succeeded where nobody expected her to succeed. During the campaigns, we had a mammoth rally in Green Stadium in Bomet. I think she was watching the rally on TV because it was aired live. The rally had a huge turnout. After the rally, she called me, she laughed and said: “Weta,"
