    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is very useful information from the Committee Chair. That is why it is important to have the chairpersons of committees listen in when the Members are debating their report so that they can shape and guide us when we miss. I like the fact that he has reminded Parliament and the country that of all the tragedies you can think of that have befallen this nation, there is nothing that compares to this Shakahola madness. It bothers me deep down in my heart that the minute this matter got out of media attention and the court’s battle that we continue to see with Makenzie, it appears to be a matter that we have quickly swept under the carpet. An individual began an exercise that leads to the death of over 400 countrymen and it does not shock us? I am surprised that we do not have a full-time schedule of punishment for those that in one way or the other by commission or emission participated in this exercise, reaching the grave nature that it did. That is something that should trouble all of us as leaders. All the 428 deaths that Sen. Mungatana has referred to, most of the victims came from the far-flung corners of this country. It could be somebody from Kisii, Kericho or whichever other part as far as Turkana or Kakamega as has been stated by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale earlier on. Think about it good people. If you imagine the 1998 bom blast, you know what has been done, how it has been recorded, how some of the perpetrators were found and others were not because these were acts of terrorism. You can think about any other tragedy. Think about any other tragedies that this country has ever experienced such as the ferry that sunk in the early 90s and so many other tragedies that has befallen this nation, nothing compares. The chairperson pointed us to this morning, to the fact that there is no other tragedy that has befallen this nation such as this particular incident."
