"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement and some action by the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. On 30th October, at 8.00 a.m. in the morning, a Government of Kenya (GK) Land Rover belonging to the Provincial Administration which was carrying 11 passengers including nine members of the Administration Police and two chiefs from my constituency overturned at a place called Ndando due to heavy rains. One Adminstration Police Officer died on the spot. Three of the rest, including two chiefs, were injured badly. Three days later, and up to now as we speak, the body of the person who died and those who were injured are still stuck in the same place where the accident occurred. All attempts by the District Commissioner who is here in Nairobi to try and get a helicopter so that they can go and ferry those people from that site have been in vain because police say all their helicopters are not serviceable and so forth. There are also no vehicles which are able to reach that place because of the heavy rains that are going on and the families of these people have agonized for the last three days. I want to appeal to the Leader of Government Business because the Minister of State for Administration and National Security is not here to urgently make arrangements for a chopper to go and pick these victims. It is a tragedy that injured Government officers and a body of their dead colleague who were on duty in a Government vehicle that rolled, including the two chiefs, are still there, three days after the accident occurred."
