    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue takes us back to corruption. Just as Sen. Dullo has mentioned, everybody concerned has been pocketed by this one Patel. In my view, we should go back to our basics. We, Kenyans, are so reactive; we do not plan or do the right things in advance. Some of these things should be done; for example, there must be ways of inspecting these projects all the time. However, we wait until such a tragedy strikes for us to start looking for who should have done what or who did not do the inspections. We are such a reactionary country, but we should be proactive to ensure that we do not go through such occurrences in our country. If it is not a water tragedy, it is a fire tragedy or something else; a tragedy is always happening. Therefore, we should be on top of things as a nation. We should be thinking about our citizens all the time, and not only when things occur. We have all the structures and institutions that should be doing their work. However, because of corruption and somebody wanting to take something little here or there, we forget our responsibility, do the wrong things and end up with such great tragedies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Kisumu County, I send my condolences. We want the people to be compensated, not only by covering the funeral expenses, because that is nothing. They should be properly compensated so that they can move on with their lives. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
