Esther Passaris","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We are saddened that we keep having fire incidents in Nairobi and we keep losing lives. A few months ago, a mother lost three of her children. Today, a father has died with three children, a mother has died with one child and a man has been burnt beyond recognition. In fact, all the bodies are burnt beyond recognition. It is disheartening that we do not have access roads. This is why I tell Kenyans that His Excellency the President’s fight for better housing will resolve the problem of access. We do not have access to most of the informal settlements. I also reiterate what the Member for Kamukunji has said. We have been expecting a fire engine to be put in Gikomba, but it has not been done yet. There are always pressing needs for the budget, but we need a fire station in Gikomba because it is an area that is prone to fire incidents as well. On my behalf, I offer condolences to the people who have lost loved ones. I hope we will eliminate slums in our city so that everybody can live in dignity and we have access to fire disasters when they happen. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."}
