"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am trying to find a good English word but my English is failing me. Having said that and having withdrawn the word “idiocy’ with apologies to them, they must have been sacked a long time ago, I want to tell the Minister to look at the cries of many people who are wailing in mortuaries today. I have seen my own uncle in Naivasha where there was an accident where 41 people died. I asked the Minister who is before me here about that accident and before my uncle died, he only gave one name, Zakayo. So nobody knew and we had to recover the body after two months because that is what he said and the old man did nothing but just boarded a bus. I have said again that we buried in Naivasha the other day 26 bodies that could not be identified because they were so mangled and the owners do not seem to know. Even as we speak, there are about three or five bodies which are still lying in Naivasha. Naivasha is the home of it all. I want to say that we must support this, save for a few amendments which are on the extreme. When you bring your good Bill and I have no reason to doubt Mr. Kimunya because yesterday I saw the Minister literally running so that he could catch up with Parliament business; he takes his business seriously. Both of us were in Mombasa and there was going to be a Parliament session in the afternoon and he was to come. I was surprised at the haste and manner in which he was trying to make his way to Parliament, compared to his colleagues. So I know he means well but even so, he should forget his Government. Let him just visit the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) Mortuary. Look at the people who are wailing and the many people who have been maimed. He should go and look at the junkyard or the traffic here."
