Hon Speaker and hon members, I did not personally know the hon Nyanda but, as always when a Member of Parliament passes away, one is again faced with the impermanence of our existence under the sun. As MPs we all try to play a role in this lifetime and for most of us it is to create a better world for now and the future. At some point that role comes to an end. It is one of the few certainties that we have, although not a pleasant one, unless one believes in God. It is indeed in God that we find solace in the belief that there is life after death.
What is also true is that the passing away of any MP is a sad loss to Parliament and our society. The FF Plus convey their condolences to and prays for strength for the family. [Applause.]
