    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Chairman for that response. I had three concerns but the third concern has not been addressed. What plans are in place to address compensation for the families of the victims? He has mentioned one of the comprehensive measures; to have the footbridge or footbridges because it is not one place. We need them from Sigowet/Soin to Bureti Sub-county crossing over to Nyamira County. We have never had trained divers doing the work. These are just local boys who are trying their best. I was there on Sunday. The residents and family members are still in agony because the body of Mr Peter Terer has not been retrieved. Mr Julius Tonui’s body was retrieved and the funeral was on Tuesday. Members of the community were painfully asking to get a bridge to cross the river. They cross it to go to Bureti and Nyamira every Monday and Thursday. That tells us that if the bridges are not constructed and the members of the community do not cross the river to put up their business on the market days, they have no livelihood. Children go to school from Sigowet/Soin to Mabasi in Bureti. They also cross the river to Nyamira which has also been a challenge. We cannot tell the children not to cross it. From Independence to date, at least two of our people lose their lives every rainy season. An immediate response should be done, especially comprehensive measures. I ask Hon. Chairman to do more on this."
