    "content": "Hon. Senators, on a sad note, on Sunday 29th May, 2022 when the Senate was still on recess, we lost a Member of the National Assembly for Rabai Constituency, the late Hon. William Kamoti Mwamkale, MP. It was through a tragic road accident at Mnarani, in Kilifi County along the Mombasa-Malindi Highway. The late Hon. Kamoti was born on 21st July, 1962 in Kiliang’ombe Village, in the present day Rabai Constituency. He attended Kiliang’ombe Primary School where he sat for his Certificate of Primary Education (CPE). Thereafter, he proceeded to Dr. Kraft Memorial Secondary School for his ‘O’ Level education. The late Hon. Kamoti joined St. Mary’s Yala School where he sat and exceled in the Kenya Advanced Certificate of Education. His excellent performance hand him a place at the University of Nairobi where he pursued a Bachelor of Law and graduated in 1987. Thereafter he pursued and deservedly earned a diploma in Law from Kenya School of Law in 1990 following which he was admitted to the role of advocates as an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Hon. Senators, after completing his studies, that late Hon. Kamoti began his legal practice in earnest by starting Kamoti and Company Advocates in 1996. He is celebrated as having been a friendly, humble, fearless and sharp lawyer. In addition to his private legal practice, the late Kamoti served the nation as registrar of titles in the Ministry of Lands and Settlement at Ardhi House and as a district land registrar of lands in the then Mombasa and Kwale District. The late Hon. Kamoti joined politics in 2013 following his election as the Member of Parliament for Rabai Constituency. He was re-elected to the National Assembly in the August 2017 elections. At the time of his untimely death, he was returning home after successfully submitting nomination papers to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Coalition (IEBC) for re-election to a third term in the forthcoming august 9th 2022 general elections. The Parliament of Kenya, residents of Rabai Constituency and the people of Kilifi County and the nation at large have lost a dependable and dedicated leader who served his constituency and the nation with utmost dedication. In him was an amiable legislator who epitomized the true meaning of a non-confrontational politics. A stand that he exhibited both in and outside the House. In accordance with Islamic tradition, the remains of our departed colleague were interred on Monday 30th May, 2022 at his ancestral home in Kiliang’ombe village in Rabai Constituency. On behalf of all Senators and on my own behalf, I wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Hon. William Kamoti Mwamkale and the great people of Rabai Constituency."
