"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join the people of Nakuru County on this rather sad episode of losing lives because of man-made disasters. Two million cubic metres of water is enough storm to clear even the mountain when it comes from a given height. The level of culpability is clear: The owner of the dam, WARMA and the national Government in failure to monitor and supervise the building of dams. It is time for this Senate to put a legislative mechanism in place to handle such disasters with great finesse. If we do so, we would have succeeded in the effort of ensuring that every Kenyan goes to sleep not feeling threatened in one way or the other either through a dream or any other imaginary level that there would be a disaster occurring to him or her during their sleep. We need to give comfort to our Kenyans, given the level of disaster. This is a manageable situation. It is a man-made situation. It can be controlled. My condolences go to every family affected by that disaster. Sen. Susan, you have done a great job. Do not relent in your efforts to fight corruption because corruption will fight back."
