    "content": "to ensure their children had gone to school so that someday they would take up the responsibility and support the family to grow to the next level. I am also aware of the teachers who died. Unfortunately, most of those teachers were from my county and my constituency in particular. The survivors and the family members of the people who lost their lives are hurting. They are in pain. They have lost the last investment they had. We all appreciate that education is an investment and if it is an investment then the kind of investment that is put into it is massive. When they lose it and lose their loved ones, I think the Government has a duty to compensate them to make their burden a little bit easier because that is what a responsible Government should do. That would be one of the amendments that I would want to move when we get to that point. I support the Bill in its entirety because I think it is good. It means well and it is meant to make Kenya a better country to live in. It is meant to assure investors that Kenya is a good place to be. We have laws which address their concerns because security is a basic requirement for everybody. Before investors come to a country, they want to be sure that their investments are safe and their personal safety is also guaranteed and this Bill goes a long way in assuring Kenyan investors and visitors that the country is safe. That would be a good thing to happen. So, I support this Bill. I want to congratulate the Leader of the Majority Party for coming up with this kind of a Bill even when we have issues. I know we will be able to address those issues as we move along. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity."
