George Murugara","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am not a Catholic but the Holy Roman Catholic Church is quite close to my heart because of the good it continues to do not only in Kenya but also everywhere in the world. This is a very solemn occasion when we have to mourn the passing on of the leader of the Catholic Church, His Holiness Pope Francis. Pope Francis will be remembered for his humility, his love for the poor and justice to everybody. Most importantly, he will be remembered for the way he went around doing his work, especially when he visited the country. We were privileged and honoured because it is not usual to have the Pope here. I remember him for the last thing he did for this country and the people from the greater region of Meru and Tharaka-Nithi. Our Bishop is about to retire. He appointed another gentleman who actually shares a name with me, Fr. Jackson Murugara, to become the Bishop of the Diocese of Meru. He is another great gentleman who is very humble and carries himself in the character of Pope Francis. May the soul of this great man rest in everlasting peace."},{"id":1558583,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1558583/?format=json","text_counter":44,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

I rise on my own behalf, that of my family and Ndhiwa community, most of whom are Catholics, to send my condolences to the Catholic faithful around the world. I admired the late Pope for his humility and service. He served to the last minute even when he was ill. That should be admired. May the Lord Almighty comfort all the Catholic faithful, and may they emulate what the late Pope practised."},{"id":1558585,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1558585/?format=json","text_counter":46,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

I wish to convey my condolences, those of my constituents of North Imenti and the Diocese of Meru to the entire Catholic Church fraternity. We have dealt with the Catholic Church for over 70 years in Meru and Tharaka Nithi counties. The late Pope Francis was a uniting figure. He worked well with other religions such as Islam. He cooperated with others and promoted peace. May God rest his soul in eternal peace."},{"id":1558587,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1558587/?format=json","text_counter":48,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Speaker. On my behalf and that of the people of Tigania West Constituency, I rise to eulogise with the entire Catholic fraternity for the loss of the head of their Church. I may not be a Catholic but I have friends who are Catholics like the newly inaugurated Bishop Murugara, Father Kinoti, Father Clement and Father Macharia, who are good at their work and are doing a great job to develop this country. The Holy Pope was integrative and humble. His humility spread across to all people. When he visited Kenya, he did not just sit with the Catholics, but with all denominations. He demonstrated that heaven accommodates everyone. One’s religious roots do not matter; what matters is being right with God."},{"id":1558589,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1558589/?format=json","text_counter":50,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Tigania West, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon (Dr) John Mutunga Kanyuithia","speaker":null,"content":"On behalf of my people, I eulogise with the Catholic faithful.
