    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I join you in welcoming to this House the students of Kairi Secondary School in Kiambu. I would like to say that we have two Houses of Parliament, that is, the ‘Upper’ House, which is the Senate and the ‘Lower’ House, which is, the National Assembly. I know that you aspire to work hard and one day come and serve in this ‘Upper’ House. You have a great Senator, Sen. Wamatangi. When you go home, assist him to serve you better. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you in condoling with the family of the late hon. Suleiman Dori. On my own behalf, my family and the people of Taita-Taveta County, I would like to pass my heartfelt condolences to the family. The late hon. Suleiman Dori was a great man, and a man of great repute. He is a man that I worked with since the time I joined Parliament. He was the Chairman of the Coast Parliamentary Group. He was a very courageous and humble man in his operations. He was a gentlemen because he was quick to say ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’ without much effort. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we worked very closely with him. He really supported me, In fact, he inducted me when I came to Parliament. He advised me several times. He will be missed by the people of Msambweni because he was very hardworking and really supported education. Yesterday, I did not make it to Msambweni, but sent a representative. They are full of praises because of the things that he has done for the people of Msambweni, especially supporting girl-child education and Dori Secondary School, which he built. We have been told that he has been supporting more than 50 girls to access education. I encourage us to emulate the ways of the late hon. Dori who supported the education of girls using his own finances. Death is a bad ripper. May God rest the soul of the late hon. Suleiman Dori in eternal peace."
