Excellency the Prime Minister Raa aminga and the party leader of odm his Excellency the governor of bungoma laka I will not say much because my party leader and my governor of kisumu is here my name s but in Parliament I’m popularly known as the Black Beauty of
Baba maybe that is why many people do not know on me because my complexion is not very friendly with the cameras I’m here first because of the great Ro M played I’m also here as a relative and I’m also here because my party leader is
Here I came a little bit earlier and I had the testimony of the Great Brothers of the latea and I was touched with the testimony of Christopher who said he grew up in the hands of M and one of the things he said was that
M had to make a decision whether to go for riches or to keep a name and I think M went for for the name and it is because of that name that we have even the great leader of odm RA in our Mee today when you see
Ra here you know that at 6 wday will be escorted by the angels He will sit by the side ofing because he’s on the right side of his story I was kly looking at the eulogy and I’ve seen names which many of the younger Generations will not call here today in this
Ulog whether James oreno was here or not you saw his name in the eulogy and that is because of the special role they played in The Struggle I really want to thank you baba I’m sure even the king of Uganda just knew this place would be peaceful
Because you are coming that is why we have even this relatives of Uganda we are also here because as honorable said and I killed his wife Susan the short one who is there then you people would not have had P who is a daughter and who is a so so
You’ve gotten the best Baba I want to say that all the people who are here today and who have served in this Parliament have served because of the great the six the seven bearded sisters played that is why you would see the their names in the eulogy here today
Many of us who are in Parliament today know that Parliament has been C and we still look forward to Baba to redeem this country with his colleagues we also know that it is historical and biblical that emancipation of the people of Western would actually come from the
Lake so I want to thank Baba because I’ve worked closely with my colleagues members of parliament who are here today we worked very closely with wuk in the last Parliament we worked closely with who is the chairman of dap party but I want to say for sure that I know Baba
Has been very close with the people here because I recall my days when I was serving in city of Baba and we served with Philip Kia who is also from Western that is the time when K of Baba had the opportunity to interact with even your former governor
And we worked well that is the time when alad from this region became the mayor in Nairobi K of Baba and now you have another seona who is the senator of Nairobi it is not easy to win a vote in Nairobi since we just win votes in the
Village so there are people would talk and give a good testimony of them we are sending here today which is Baba professor and his colleagues who are I also want to thank the deputy party leader of odm honorable for being equal and being steadfast to us so I don’t
Want to go beyond that I want to thank everybody we are here as relatives and uh I want to urge you baba to continue because in Parliament we’ve been captured and I know the next game plan is to capture our Governors like laka who also borrows you know his lck from B
Where is as a youngo so there’s nobody who will rise even our leader in Parliament Wang could not be there if it were not for Baba he borrowed and he got the lck because he worked under Baba I recall the days when I was at the University with the current president
Because we entered the same day and graduated the same day when I was studying law and he was studying ban zology that time Baba had suffered and I was in and been in jail for 9 years thank you God bless him as he goes to heaven thank you thank you thank you

Basement that is the roote for a man you are being baptized into leadership I asked myself am I coming to mour or to celebrate the life of a hero and because I answered myself that I’m coming to celebrate rather than more allow me to say the following what would I do
Differently that would make this man happy in heaven is to ask my colleagues whom we are in Parliament together not to allow Parliament to be taken hostage by the executive it would make this man happy what could I do differently to make Zuna receive me in heaven is to
Ensure that Cav that was from Tana to hisia is one is one the unity of Cavo is required now than ever before the other day why do you think the meu and because they realize that the journey we have ahead if we don’t work together we will perish individually God bless you

Cuna very good columns so one day I decided to invite him for lunch at United Kenya club and he came so I asked him whether he was related to Laurence siuna he said yes then I said you write very good articles in the papers I would like you to join
Odm I was there SEC general of the that is how the Journey of Eda started into the party and in the end he became Secretary General that I had been if lawence had not had a good name in Parliament I would not have recognized the importance if lawrencea had not been a
Man of principle I would not have Associated Edwin Zuna with LA Zuna but Edwin like his Uncle Lawrence has done a starling job in the party a man of principle a man of integrity a man who is committed to the future of our people not of himself finally I want to tell
You a story there was at one time when a father and a son and two sons actually one was young one was older the landlord decided to throw them out of an apartment in New York because they delayed in their rent for one month so the family went to
Court because they knew being late for one month is turn being thrown out of your apartment but the man wanted to sell that apartment and wanted to get these poor people out the man hired a lawyer they went to court the family was defeated and they
Were thrown out and the father and the eldest brother committed suicide because of the pain of being thrown out of an apartment unfairly by a lawyer who defended the landlord so the guy said okay let me bury my my father and my brother he went to the cemetery to the cemeter manager
And said please we are a poor family show me a place where I can bury my father and brother so guy said just go and look choose one and we shall negotiate so the I looked looked looked then he found a place where the grave was written here lies a lawyer and a
Gentleman the boy rushed back to the manager I found a grave where two people are buried a lawyer and a gentleman so the manager went no no no no these are new two people this just one person the boy said I’ve never met a lawyer who is a gentleman thank you very much
A let me take this opportunity n James was among the seven Beed sisters is here in a very special way though a colleague as a governor let me invite the governor trans George prime minister S [Applause] ins Ked by funerals Sisters for we are very we cannot be United by poverty poverty Do you need need to say no all you [Applause] need freedom is still that is the biggest challenge for for we Sante prime minister the Great County of prime minister my name is Susan the dactor of this soil of Western I’m privileged to be serving this country as the cabinet secretary for
Health and I’m sure you have seen progress R Ed Thank you very much my brother for doing that the beginning of finding a solution is acknowledging that there’s a problem for many years but we must get to a place of self relance Coury of this government social health insurance [Applause] a good for look back and check that I did the right thing
.1% it was unfair and that is why we have brought changes that people must pay those who have [Applause] money k I want Tok you and I likey that you use about football I really like it when you use it but what I have also noticed prime
Minister is that the people who are always outside the field they always look like they can play better than those in the field leaving seven bearded sisters James Agri oreno your Excellency Governor B now the family of my departed colleague laena right Prime ministering your Excellency the governor of
Boma uh party leaders including my neighbor and the cabinet former cabinet secretary and leader of D Eugene AB Youngs the struggle was continuing 23 years For I how je he was coming from the greatest tradition of members of parliament from Western Kenya I think we should remember that he was coming from the greatest if you want the greatest tradition of the best members of parliament they came from Western tradition the leader will emerge here America Will it will not be who is greater than who so this this man was a good parliamentarian he was a good parliamentarian and stood for the truth for the truth but if you really believe in that dialogue the easiest route is to commend the finance
Act but I think a lot of people are here were speaking when that thing comes to Parliament they will not vote for it he was a practical Poli to tell us when you want to go in to work in the morning and I L that Liston because many times when I was arrested sometimes you’ll be kept in the cells for 2 weeks 3 weeks and so on and so forth but an incident
That I can never forget because was a good footballer and I was a good footballer Baba was a good footballer went to Tanzania to play football in and the backline and we on the back line you try your best but all can pass but not the Striker from the other
Team the mar so me me what let me conclude this because some people are normally worri when people are talking in such an audience they begin to think you know we came to see this and that but I think let us build one Kyan Republic one nation and a
Republic is not a country where you tell people where shim there’s nothing like that in a republic in a republic in a republic in a republic the government should respect the people first respect the people first so when people go hungry you tend to them you don’t tell them respect the government
Of the day now respect really respected the government I tell you you young politicians I’m telling you the best of advice and I’m in telling even my captain knows there if you’re a politician try and calculate a brand of integrity and Leadership and speaking for the truth if in America now there’s
Something called biomics you know Biden is trying to tell Americans that you know life is better but Americans are not feeling it 100,000 cph the question is are people feeling better today compared to last Year so I plead with you let’s build one country let’s go One Direction but the truth will always remain the truth and that’s why I respect the man we are setting off today and my friend Aang I am a lawyer and a Gentleman than time we have been very
Lucky we have had three speakers and I was his speaker and he said I was a good speaker I don’t know why EXC wanted to come but he fell a bit not too wellc one of those observers who are going to observe the elections Inc 79 when I was a student in form
3 and he was very Impressive he won the elections that 1979 and he went and became a very fearless leader I’ll remind you two incidents where man is Fearless this man lying the gentl with due respect to the Prime Minister he knows history that is how he was that time was in so he was a very Fearless Person is true what he did not mention is thato voted against the government AA minister to was a chairman of that select committee how many of our people today can sacrifice we not stand by our own so those are the L courageous people that we have had here was sucked because he
Saved M from being killed because he was a chairman who said the government had killed killed JM kuk so I want to appeal to our leaders let us be our Brother’s Keeper Brother’s Keeper let me tell you of course we have government and those inos so these things are we
Trying politics of Kenya is also a regional I want to support him that we must also ourselves with other people we must also remain United and have one leader that we respect even twins are born the same day but they don’t come out at the same time goting table with a lot of

Till we meet again Fair the well thank you ladies and gentlemen 2 minutes for a vot of thanks before we exit 2 minutes please for a of good afternoon my name again uh Ela I know I was here very shortly but I’m here now to give sincere thanks to
Our Excellency the president the speaker of the National Assembly bua governor and all other Governors that were present current and former all members of parliament present and former our Sani sub Parish we give thanks all members of the county assemblies our family family from Uganda friends neighbors we thank you for your
Unwavering support for standing with us both financially in person during this difficult time I have something small to share because my brother was a very generous a man and supported a lot of community empowerment projects and as a had mentioned in one sentence here that in his footsteps I thought I should do
Something and have always worked on a charity to support our communities but what is in her name my brother met our siuna family into a great brand so great that even we Carri it when we get married since Lawrence died I’ve had friends family po tells of how my
Brother met them who they are what I haven’t heard is how they changed his life for the better if my brother was taking his last breath and had no pain what memory of you in his mind would he have gone with I want us to talk about self-reflection there are so many things
That we can take care or issues that we can solve by only taking time to think through the things that we do by taking a few hours out of our busy schedules and reflecting on ourselves we can solve this issues because even the Bible says God helps those who help
Themselves are we assisting people and in the present in the process of helping leaving them terrified and enslaved to ourselves My worry is that some horrible things started in Africa on small scale El but exploded and cut out of hand when they were mirrored by other powerful Nations and by that I mean
Slavery little things like Civilization started in Africa which has made great progress in our lives so it’s good to know if you are trying to do something how are you affecting the people you think you are working with the community you are working with another thing I wanted to say is
I believe that we can build our communities into powerful economic powerhouses instead of building walls we can divert those resources to invest in the people in our communities and around us that way they become Partners instead of terrified because of our safety thank you thank you back to You def got some chiens you come You la m m amen Lordy [Applause] Bar [Applause] [Applause] what for father he oh [Applause] do spee R [Applause] On not not ready [Applause] got a pizza get some M my bed to get D [Applause] Pick Papa you okay [Applause] I foree speee this my m [Applause] [Applause] the [Applause] spee [Applause] speee [Applause] [Applause] why your pi [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] for [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] com [Applause] Wait [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] spee [Applause] about [Applause] Yeah [Applause] 20 minutes [Applause] you [Applause] I baby hey three qu [Applause] do [Applause] [Applause] 20 [Applause] you go on go on [Applause] the is the new [Applause] [Applause] B [Applause] [Applause] For [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] me [Applause] To [Applause] Keep [Applause] [Applause] I [Applause] [Applause] bab now now [Applause] I [Applause] You only have [Applause] [Applause] second [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] more [Laughter] [Applause] the [Applause] [Applause] what what way [Laughter] [Applause] [Applause] see I [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] For I I [Applause] I In over there [Applause] I amen huah spee [Applause] spee [Applause] For [Applause] [Applause] For [Applause] [Applause] For [Applause] am amen so [Applause] amen for
