    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I speak with a very heavy heart because of how we lost our brothers. My condolences go to the families of all the six people who passed on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known Prof. Saitoti through my association with him to be a very honest human being. He was a very committed leader, but more so, a very courageous human being. I think Kenyans do not know this. The other week we travelled together in the same chopper that he died in to Bomet. I asked him why we were going there through air every other week. This is because one time we were travelling in that big helicopter and next to me there was a drum of 200 litres of Jet A1 fuel. I looked at it and I asked him: “Should we really be here?” He said: “No! No! This life is risky and we must accept risks.” He was very courageous. Kenyans did not know that this was a leader whom you could depend on any time. However, my concern and that of the family, is the issue of this particular helicopter because we used it the other week. What is the record of this aircraft in terms of servicing and the flight path? Why did it have to turn round and why was it directed to the Ngong Hills instead of Wilson Airport? We do not want to shelf the incident because I believe there must be something more. We have more quetions than answers on this particular issue. Why was the pilot not able to turn back and come this way and instead, he was directed to the hills? This is what we want to be answered. We want the Committee to do so."
