"content": "Hon. Members, as you are already aware, the week started off on a very sad note for the National Assembly, the residents of Kwale County and the nation as a whole, following the demise of Hon. Suleiman Dori Ramadhani, Member for Msambweni. The honourable Member passed on in the morning of yesterday, Monday, 9th March 2020, while undergoing treatment at the Aga Khan Hospital Mombasa. The late Hon. Suleiman Dori Ramadhani was born on 19th October 1977 and attended Tudor Secondary School and later other institutions, including the Young Men Christian Association (YMCA) Mombasa where he was trained on community development. The late Hon. Suleiman Dori’s parliamentary career commenced in March 2013 following his election by the people of Msambweni Constituency, Kwale County, as their representative. Subsequently, following an active and successful first term in the 11th Parliament, the people of Msambweni again voiced their confidence in his leadership, re-electing him to this august House in August 2017. During his first term in Parliament, Hon. Suleiman Dori had an illustrious career as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands as well as the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, where he contributed immensely to the work of the two committees. He re-joined the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing in the current Parliament and had been serving as a vocal and dedicated Member of the Committee. He was particularly active during the consideration of Bills, Petitions and Parliamentary Questions in the Committee as well as during vetting of nominees to various State and public offices. You will recall that during the consideration of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2019 in July last year, he was very active during the debate on the amendment to the Merchant Shipping Act. The late Hon. Dori was also an active and influential Member of the Coast Parliamentary Group, where he was the Chairperson as well as the former Deputy Organising Secretary of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

"content": "The late Hon. Suleiman Dori was committed to the economic empowerment of farmers, and strongly supported a Motion seeking the Government’s financial support and relief to cushion coconut farmers in the coastal region as well as the proposed inclusion of coconut insurance under the National Agricultural Insurance Programme. He was also vocal in supporting calls for the national Government to consider giving regular honorarium to village elders as a means of appreciating their services and encouraging them to uphold their dedication to the community. As a passionate advocate for use of Kiswahili in the House and in other public institutions, the late Hon. Dori was instrumental in calling on the National Council for Law Reporting (NCLR) to progressively translate all laws of Kenya into Kiswahili and the now realised translation of our Standing Orders into Kiswahili. The late Member was very pragmatic in his approach to leadership, which was highlighted in many occasions including during debates on security issues in which he once said the following during debate in the House:"

Without doubt, the residents of Msambweni Constituency, Kwale County, this House, the entire Parliament and the nation at large, have lost a vibrant, pragmatic and dedicated leader. The Member was laid to rest yesterday in Msambweni in accordance with Islamic tradition. May God rest his soul in eternal peace. In tribute and honour to our departed colleague, the late Hon. Suleiman Dori Ramadhani, I request that we stand to observe a moment of silence."
