    "content": "In 2013, the late Hon. Kamoti took a stab at elective politics and won the seat for Member of Parliament for Rabai Constituency. He was re-elected to Parliament in August 2017 and was at the tail-end of completing service for two terms of Parliament. The departed colleague still quested for service to the people of Rabai Constituency and the nation. At the time of his untimely demise, he was returning home after successfully submitting his nomination papers to the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to seek re-election for a third term in the forthcoming General Elections in August. Until his premature demise, the late Hon. Kamoti was an active Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation. The National Assembly, Rabai Constituency and the nation have lost a dependable and astute leader who served his constituents and the nation with utmost dedication. In him was an amiable legislator who epitomized non-confrontational politics, a stance that he exhibited both in this House and outside the House. Hon. Members, in accordance with the Islamic tradition, the remains of our departed colleague were interred yesterday evening, Monday, 30th May 2022, at his ancestral home in Kaliang’ombe Village in Rabai Constituency. That notwithstanding, in line with the Parliamentary Service Commission’s Bereavement Policy, I already constituted an ad-hoc funeral committee, chaired by the Member for Ganze Constituency, Hon. Teddy Mwambire, MP. Although the burial rites for the departed colleague were conducted yesterday, the Committee is requested to liaise with the family of the deceased Member and coordinate the National Assembly’s support to the family in accordance with the Parliamentary Service Commission’s Bereavement Policy. Hon. Members, on behalf of all Members, parliamentary staff and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Hon. William Kamoti Mwamkale, the people of Rabai Constituency, all his relatives and friends. In honour of the dedicated service that the late Hon. William Kamoti Mwamkale rendered to his constituents, the community and the nation, I request that we all stand and observe a moment of silence."
