    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues, Hon. Members, and Kenyans at large, to mourn these two great leaders. I served with Dr. Joyce Laboso in the 11th Parliament and with Hon. Ken Okoth in the current Parliament. Without much ado, everybody in this House knows the caliber of Hon. Okoth. His passion was in education, human rights and fighting corruption. It is very unfortunate that this afternoon we are where we are because of this demon called cancer. Today I saw a tweet where somebody said, “Oh my God, how can cancer come and kill cancer?” This is a big problem. We also lost Governor Joyce Laboso. I am really privileged because she taught me communication skills at Egerton University in my first year. When we met in Parliament, she mentored me in so many things, including advising me on how to mobilise women and the youth in the constituencies. Through her advice, truth be told, I came back to Parliament. Right now, I am doing better than when she taught me. I join other Kenyans in condoling with the families of these two great leaders."
