    "content": "3. Mr. Peter Kilonzi Ndava (ID. No. 40122031) - Kshs35,000 4. Mr. David Nzyima - Kshs16,000 Mr. Karuvu is from the Kiio area of Kiomo/Kyethani Ward in Mwingi West Constituency and is the father of Mr. Muthui; both of them are admitted to KNH nursing various injuries. I wish them, together with Messrs: Ndava and Nzyima, quick and full recovery. The prayers of the people of Kitui County and Kenyans of goodwill are with you and with the families of those who were killed in the terror attack. These families feel neglected by both the national Government and the County Government of Kitui. The families need support to settle bills and to attend to their loved ones. The families and surviving victims want and deserve justice for the loved ones they have lost, which only the national Government is endowed with the capacity to deliver. I, therefore, as the elected Senator of Kitui County, ask the national Government to give an unqualified commitment to step in and help the victims and their families. I am asking the Government to foot all pending hospital and mortuary bills for the victims, to take care of the burial expenses of those killed in the terror attack and to fast-track investigations into the attack to facilitate closure on the part of surviving victims and families. These cowardly acts of terror by invisible enemies are meant to inflict grief and terrorize innocent people to live in fear. The terrorists wish to cause divisions along religious and ethnic lines. The people of Kitui County have had long and mutually rewarding commercial and social relationships with the people of Mandera County and have, for decades, engaged in booming livestock trade and exported both skilled and semi-skilled labour across their borders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I implore our people from both counties not to allow themselves to be divided by an enemy whose mission is to destroy the foundations of cordial relations and lay evil foundations of hatred, death and destruction. They must not be cowed to submission by an enemy who is pursuing evil outcomes for reasons only the devil can explain to his own. Long live the cordial relations between the people of Mandera and Kitui counties. In the words of the national anthem - “may peace be found within our borders.” I thank you."
