    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to thank Hon. (Ms.) Musyoka for bringing up this Motion, which I support wholeheartedly. I have been involved a number of times in emergency cases and in some cases, I looked helpless. I did not have any basic knowledge and training in handling emergencies. As a leader, I was hopeless. One time, I was involved in an accident on my way to my constituency and even my driver, who is supposed to be a VIP driver, did not know how to handle an emergency. As a Member of Parliament, I was at a loss as to what should be done. Everybody should be trained to handle emergency cases. Therefore, I am suggesting to Hon. (Ms.) Susan Musyoka, the Mover of the Motion that training of staff should be regular. Sometimes back we had two children in my constituency who had gone swimming in a small dam, and we could not get anybody to rescue them. They eventually lost their lives because there was nobody around that area who knew what to do. People were just throwing ropes hoping that the children could hold on to them, but the children were struggling to be afloat. It was not possible. At the end of it one held the other one, and it was so bad that they eventually lost their lives because there was nobody within the village that could have helped. Therefore, training should be regular. We should also cast the net wider to even include divers in case of an emergency."
