Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the petitioners from Kericho County for bringing to the fore a matter that not only concerns Kericho. Other counties have similar issues as well.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that message of condolences. It is a sad day for Parliament to lose one of our colleagues. The late hon.
