    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to add my voice to this unfortunate incident. I rise to mourn the young man Kiptum and the coach and to feel with the bereaved family of Kiptum. Madam Temporary Speaker, I look at the hopeless widow of Kiptum. I saw the young lady mourn.

In Ndhiwa Constituency many boda bodas’ get crushed thus losing their lives to the tractors owned by Sukari Industry. Madam Temporary Speaker, we had one young man that lost his life in Ndhiwa, just amongst the many that we have in that constituency called Anyona. He joins the inventory of sports people, he joins Kiptum. He lost his life as a sportsman. A young The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
