    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. I am coming late after others and the whole Parliament gave a moment of silence, but I would want to say that it was a very tragic moment for us in Kieni where we lost 21 students ― 19 in the fire inferno and two in hospital. Additionally, three students are still hospitalised in various hospitals in the country. I want to appreciate His Excellency the Deputy President, Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries who came on time to give their condolences. I also appreciate the notable Government presence in this tragedy. We thank the many Kenyans and other countries of the world for their condolences. I cannot only talk about the 21 students who died in Kieni and forget the six who lost their lives in Kibwezi. This is a very sad moment for this country where we have lost more than 30 students to both fire and road accidents in various places. Hon. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. I want to condole with the community in Endarasha particularly, the Director of Hillside Endarasha Academy, who always gives us the best education. His school was home to 824 students and has always performed very well in our local and national examinations. We are calling upon the Government to give any possible assistance because a school that houses that population of students needs help to rise up. This is more so, because of students who will be sitting for the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examinations. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
