    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you, Chairman. I congratulate you and your team for a well-thought decision to bring this to the House. I will be brief. In this country, we have very competent aeronautical engineers. As a matter of fact, we have 20,013 engineers and we cannot say that we do not have people who can do investigations for us. I do not know the panel that sits, but I believe that even lawyers sit there. We have the best brains of lawyers in East Africa, for example, Hon. Otiende Amollo, Hon. TJ Kajwang’ and the rest who sit in this House. I believe we also have very good doctors. I am trying to confirm that we have a team that can help us instead of importing people to come and do work that we can do. Incidents and accidents are very emotional. Imagine a 90-year-old grandmother or mother who wants to go to the United Kingdom (UK) to listen to the panel say something about his or her daughter or family member. I have seen it happen sometimes. When these accidents happen, family members want to go and hear. Some think that if the grandmother or uncle goes, they will be given money as payment for the death that occurred. If it is done within East Africa, you can take a bus to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda or wherever that investigation is happening and listen and pray with your family as they go through that traumatising moment. There is no need to bring investigators from Western countries, for example, to come and investigate an incident here while when we have problems like in Haiti, we take our Kenyan policemen to go and help. Why are they not sending white men?"
