    "content": " Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I want to agree with my colleague, Hon. Milemba. The fire occurred in my constituency, as he has said. I totally agree with the sentiments of my colleague. The affected families and those who live in the informal settlements experience fires almost every two weeks. This one was one of a kind because people were burnt beyond recognition. When nine people were burnt beyond recognition, it was not a small matter. This has been happening in the informal sector in Nairobi for a long time. We have asked the Government and Nairobi City County Government to give us a place where we can put up a fire station. We have also asked the governor to give us a fire station so that when this happens, we have instant response. We asked the Government to help the victims and I must there was a good response. Some food was brought to the victims but this cannot fill the emotional gap these people experienced. When the President came, he was asked to visit the victims and he gave them full support. However, we must have a lasting solution to the fire outbreaks in the informal settlements. We need to get to the root cause of the fire outbreaks every time. The investigating agencies must do this with speed, because the families concerned, like my colleague has said, have been here for a very long time."
