    "content": "I have known and worked with him for over 10 years. I knew him before he came to Parliament. He has been a regular companion together with his distinguished colleagues from Mombasa and Kilifi in the Parliamentary Health Club. When he was in Nairobi, he never missed to go to the Health Club. He was ever smiling, making positive jokes and talking to everybody. He has been a very steadfast representative. I have been to his home and know his family. It is regrettable that because of the strict nature of the Islamic burials, which we respect, some of us were not able to go and pay our last respects to our friend. However, I believe that we will plan and go to say pole to the family. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Suleiman Dori was one of those leaders who rose from very humble beginnings and walked the ladder of leadership without arrogance and self praise. He was always available to people. I recall the many times we have had rallies with him. When the High Court overturned the election of my then party member, Hon. Mwashetani, he provided the springboard upon which we carried out campaigns in the whole of Lunga Lunga Constituency, then known as Msambweni Constituency. There was not a single day he missed. If we went round, by the end of the day, he would herd us to his family for late lunch or dinner. He would join us in the hotels to strategize for the next day. He knew not only the politics of his constituency, but also the entire Kwale County. He would tell you where our strengths lay and where our weaknesses were visible. His death is truly untimely.
