Yusuf Haji has been described as a disciplinarian, go-getter and a career civil servant who served the country with dedication and honour.
A father figure, and mentor to many, Haji, who was until his death the Garissa Senator, was a soft-spoken but firm, no-nonsense peace champion who had a sense of humour in discharging his legislative agenda.
His wise counsel and mastery of the political landscape was informed by his many years' service in the Provincial Administration, transcending successive regimes.
