It is with deep sorrow that I wish to inform you of the untimely demise of hon. John Oroo Oyioka, MP, the Member for Bonchari Constituency in the National Assembly, who passed away yesterday, Monday 15th February 2021 while undergoing treatment at Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu. He was born on 5th May 1950 in Bonchari, Kisii County. Hon. Senators, the late hon. John Oroo Oyioka attended Cardinal Otunga Mosocho High School where he obtained his “O” Level certificate in 1970. He proceeded to Strathmore School for “A” Level and thereafter joined the University of Nairobi where he graduated with a Bachelor of Education (Science Option) in 1976. He worked as a high school teacher in various stations, including Cheptenye High School, Kaaga High School and Kericho Day High School. His excellence enabled him to rise to the position of Education Officer and he served in that capacity in Uasin-Gishu, Nandi, Nanyuki, Siaya and Kisii districts. In 1996, he rose up the ranks to become an Assistant Director for Education at the Ministry of Education Headquarters, a position he held until his retirement in 1999. He made his mark in the education sector by establishing the St. Angelic Teacher- Training College in Suneka Town, Bonchari Constituency. Hon. Senators, the late hon. Oyioka made his debut in elective politics in 2013 when he contested for and won the Bonchari Constituency parliamentary seat on KANU party ticket. His stint was however short-lived because he lost the seat in a by-election that was held in 2014, following nullification of the election results by the High Court. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
