    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, I also join my colleagues, on behalf of the people of Kericho County, to condole with our neighbours, the good people of Nakuru, following this very unfortunate incident. I have two quick points. First, is to Sen. Susan Kihika, Senator for Nakuru County. I urge you on as you pursue justice for the victims of this heinous act. I call it “heinous” because negligence has led to many people losing property and more importantly, lives. As we pursue their compensation, we note that life is priceless and there is absolutely nothing that we can do, but at least for the remaining members of the family, let them be paid something quite decent enough to ease off the pain. Mr. Patel is an entrepreneur who has enjoyed the fruits of Kenyans. We all enjoy his signature salt, Kensalt in our homes. Therefore, he is not poor. He is able to compensate these people properly. Secondly, lives would have been lost in vain if we do not come up with far- reaching regulations to manage all our dam waters across the country. There are many dams that are being built now and those that are already in existence may continue to be a problem if the report that will come from the task force that has been formed to look into this incident is not properly considered. I hope this will be done unlike in other incidents in the past."
