    "content": "Having declared that the Special Sitting is properly convened, allow me to turn to the single most business that necessitated the convening of this Special Sitting. We are gathered here today under sad circumstances. As you are already aware, the National Assembly and, indeed, the nation as a whole, is mourning the loss of the second president of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, who passed on, on Tuesday, 4th February 2020 while undergoing treatment at the Nairobi Hospital. His Excellency the late retired Second President was, according to records, born on 2nd September, 1924 in what is now Sacho Division of Baringo County. He attended the Africa Inland Mission School at Kabartonjo for his primary education, Kapsabet High School - then known as the Government African School, Kapsabet - and later joined Kapsabet Teachers Training College. He also attended Kagumo Teachers College and taught at the Government African School, Kapsabet and Tambach Teachers Training College. He had also served as the Headmaster at the Government African School, Tambach which later became Tambach Teachers Training College. He worked as a teacher from 1946 to 1955. As a matter of fact, education remained dear to his heart during his entire life, as evidenced by, among other things, the many schools he established and supported. Hon. Members, I will resume my seat to allow Members at the door to make their way in quickly."
