    "content": "What instigated the thinking behind this Bill was Garissa terrorist attack which happened about two to three years ago. In consultations with a few friends of mine in the medical profession, I realised that we had an uncoordinated manner on how we manage disasters in this country. At that time, we lost about 144 students of Garissa University. Their bodies had to be transported from Garissa to Nairobi. Relatives were going to identify the bodies at Chiromo Mortuary. Those who survived the terrorist attack had to be brought to Nyayo Stadium. I had engagement with a medical doctor who was involved in the process and who was a senior medical officer at the Ministry of Health. He told me that one of the things that they were not able to do was the process of identifying those who had died and those who had survived the terrorist attack. Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker, unfortunately for those who died, their bodies were transported to Nairobi four days after their death. The temperatures at Garissa that time were close to 40 degrees Celsius and bodies started decomposing as soon as they were stored in some small mortuary in Garissa District Hospital then."
