"content": "Secondly, I urge Sen. Susan Kihika not to spare the perpetrators of this man-made disaster. There is no explanation why you have a dam on a hill, with two million litres of water and much more. Somebody must be called to task. Majority Whip, say it as it is. You will make enemies in Government; but say somebody must take political responsibility. Thirdly, Sen. Sakaja and I have sponsored the Disaster Management Bill. It is coming for public hearing on Thursday. Senators, this is the way to deal with disaster. The fact alone, that President Uhuru Kenyatta gave the Kenyan Red Cross money, Kshs1 billion or thereabout is confirmation that the persons tasked with the duty of managing disasters in this country have failed. So, we are vindicated. Therefore, I urge the Senators to support the Bill when it comes to this House. Let us get action but so many must take political responsibility for this action. It is not enough to say “sorry”. It is not enough to say that the dam was illegal. The Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) is solely responsible. Somebody must be fired."
