    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in, first and foremost, registering my own condolences to the families of about 50 Kenyans who passed away during the Solai Dam Tragedy. For the surviving members of those families, I want to register my sympathy with them. I hope that they will live long enough to see that justice is done to them. Secondly, I also want to join my colleagues in passing my congratulations to the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Kihika, who has come out passionately in support of the people of Nakuru County whom she ably represents before the Senate. Thirdly, before I make my contributions, I want to register my support for the nine Senators who have been nominated to serve as Members of the Select Committee. All of them are able Senators, and I have no fear that they will do a good job. I do not know how to measure the passion of Sen. Sakaja, but I hope he will vindicate himself when the time comes. I begin by looking at the national values that govern us under Article 10 of our Constitution that we enacted in 2010. One of the values, which I must say some business people in this country never pay attention to, is one that talks about human dignity. This means treating every Kenyan and giving each Kenyan the human dignity that they deserve – social justice and equity. Without sounding to be a racist, I must register my concern that there are members of some communities in this country who do not treat Kenyans like human beings. I was listening to the contributions of Sen. Kwamboka,who said that the Committee on Defence, National Security and Foreign Affairs paid a visit to the Solai Dam. They were saddened by the inhuman conditions in which the people working in Solai Dam were serving. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
