"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first take this opportunity to send my condolences to those passengers who passed away in that accident, seven of whom came from Butere. We were all saddened by their death. Unfortunately, under the Kenya Railways Act, the train has the right of way. This accident was caused by negligence of the matatu driver who did not stop to wait for the train to cross but instead ploughed into the locomotive. As a result of this, my Ministry got in touch with the Ministry of Roads and Public Works and now I am glad to say that bumps have been introduced. The job was completed on 28th February. Secondly, a very large and conspicuous road sign has been placed on the side of the road to warn motorists of the level crossing in order to avoid any more accidents. We are very sorry for what happened but this accident was due to the negligence of the matatu driver because trains have the right of way."
