    "content": "The late Hon. Oyioka reclaimed his parliamentary seat during the 2017 General Elections when he was elected on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ticket. Until his demise, he was a dedicated member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. Hon. Senators, in Parliament, the late Hon. Oyioka was a devoted legislator who passionately articulated issues of concern to his electorate and relentlessly served the interests of his people. He sponsored the Central Bank of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, which was read a First Time on 28th July 2020 and is awaiting Second Reading. Through the Bill, the late Member sought to anchor in law a legal framework that would obligate the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to regulate digital financial lending products and services. Hon. Senators, on behalf of the Senators and the staff of the Senate, and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to take this opportunity to condole with the family of the Hon. Oyioka, Members of the National Assembly, the people of Bonchari Constituency, and all his friends in this most difficult time. I also served in Bonchari. The Parliament of Kenya has, indeed, lost a diligent leader. In honour of our departed colleague, I request that in the usual tradition we all stand and observe a moment of silence."
