    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in condoling the families that lost their loved ones. In Mumias East Constituency, we lost two students. We buried Mildred Yondo Wakholi on Saturday and we buried Evans yesterday. Like one speaker said, these students came from poor families. For example, Evan’s father had just sold land and paid school fees. Before two weeks were over, the son had been killed by the Al Shabaab . We were given a coffin, the mortuary bill was paid and Kshs100,000. However, that is not enough. The Government must look at how it is going to compensate these families. Paying bills alone is not enough. The yesterday’s burial was so emotional. One student stated that he would rather have this Parliament bombed than students being bombed. As we condemn that, we have a responsibility. We have to look at how some universities are established. When looking at the students who go to Garissa University College, we realised that the locals do not go there. We wonder how the university was established for other people to go there when the locals do not go there."
