    "content": "the aircraft crash that occurred on Tuesday, 5th June 2018 after take-off from Kitale Airstrip. Unfortunately, we have been told that the aircraft crashed and there were no survivors. An aircraft enroute to Nairobi from Kitale with 10 people on board went off-radar on Tuesday evening, shortly after take-off at around 4 p.m. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) issued a statement confirming this incident at around 9 p.m., which occasioned the onset of search and rescue efforts by the Air Accident Investigation Division (AAID), KCAA, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and other relevant agencies. It has been confirmed that the wreckage has been located in the Aberdares Forest. This Airline is called SAX. People who come from Trans-Nzoia and its environs have used it regularly. My concern is about our preparedness as a nation and the institutions responsible for emergency response in tackling such kinds of emergencies.

I, therefore, take this opportunity on my own behalf and that of the great people of Kiminini Constituency and Trans-Nzoia County at large, to send a message of condolences to the families and friends. It is my prayer that the Almighty God gives the families strength and comfort at this difficult time. The pilot by the name Barbara Wangechi has flown me several times. We go to the same church. Her mother is an active member of the church. It is very scary. We do not know where we are headed to as a country at this particular time. I know the country is mourning. The families are crying but we want to pray for them. As the book of Revelations says, the Lord will wipe their tears. It is only the Lord who will wipe their tears. It is my humble request…"
