    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hear what Hon. Millie has said. I confirm that, indeed, it is true that there has been a crash of a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) helicopter, which we have seen in the news. Being responsible leaders, we do not want to speculate as to the cause of the crash. We are all awaiting news. It is being reported in the news that a number of people have lost their lives and there are few who have survived. It is only fair that we leave it to the KDF, because they are already on the ground, to confirm how many people have lost their lives and how many have survived. Let them establish the identities of those who were there and first communicate to their kin before the news is broken in any other manner. That is the most responsible thing to do. Let me take this opportunity to convey my condolences to the families of those who may have lost loved ones in that crash. It is unfortunate that that had to happen. I am told the helicopter crashed somewhere in Elgeyo Marakwet. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg that we leave it at that so that we do not get into speculation since we do not know which officers were on that flight, who has survived and who has passed on. Let us allow the relevant authorities to do what they need to do – like, first, communicate to the families of the ones who may have lost their lives. The country will be updated by the relevant authorities at the right time. I really beg that we leave that matter as it is for now.
