    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for according to me this opportunity. I rise to make a Statement about the demise of the former Member of Parliament for Eldoret South. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 259D(2)(a), I report the untimely passing on of the former Member of Parliament for Eldoret South, the late Hon. (Dr) Joseph Kiptiony arap Misoi on Friday, 28th July 2023. The late Hon. (Dr) Joseph Kiptiony arap Misoi was born on 25th September 1943. He attended A.I.C Kapchemoiywo Primary School for his Common Entrance Examinations (CEE) in 1952. He then proceeded to A.I.C. Kaptumo for his Kenya African Preliminary Examination (KAPE), where he excelled and joined Government African School, now known as Kapsabet Boys, for his Cambridge School Certificate (CSC) between 1960 and 1963. Hon. Misoi received a scholarship to attend Eotvos Lorand Scientific University for his undergraduate diploma and the University of Veterinary Sciences in Budapest for his doctorate between 1964 and 1970. Thereafter, he proceeded to Copenhagen, Denmark, to the Royal Agricultural and Veterinary College for his Advanced Postgraduate in Food Microbiology and Hygiene, where he was awarded a fellowship of the F.A.O. Veterinary Faculty of the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural History. Hon. Misoi began his career as a senior veterinary officer at the Ministry of Agriculture and lecturer of Veterinary Public Health at the Kenya Meat Commission. He later worked as a Senior Food/Agricultural Standards and Quality Control Officer. Hon. Misoi joined politics in 1988 following his election as the Member of Eldoret South Constituency. He served for two terms as an Assistant Minister at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and later under the Office of the Vice-President. Known to many as Bwana Majimbo, the late Hon. Misoi fought for multipartyism and was a passionate agitator for majimboism, now devolution or devolved government units. In recent years, he served as the Director of Election at the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party. He is survived by his spouse and six children. Hon. Speaker, on my behalf and behalf of the people of Kesses Constituency, I wish to take this opportunity to condole with the family of the late Dr Joseph Kiptiony arap Misoi, his relatives, friends, and the people of Kenya at large. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to use this opportunity to ask Hon. Members to stand with the family during this difficult moment and offer any support they can in this honourable House, as he was a Member of this honourable House. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
