    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir thank you for giving me the chance to also contribute to this very important statement. I would like to congratulate Sen. Seneta for bringing it up. This is really important in the sense that lives were lost and I would like to console with those who lost lives and their families. As other senators have said, these are not just numbers but breathing human beings that have lost their lives and loved ones are left behind worrying about them, also missing the bread that would have been earned. It is a catastrophe that things like these happen in Kenya. As hon. Members have said, some of these things are avoidable in the sense that it could be as a result of the way we build using flimsy materials and buildings that are close to each other. When a fire starts, the materials are burnt away very fast. I know that fires can also be started by arsonists who want to get back at the people who defeated them in politics. They should be arrested and put in jail. The most important thing is preparedness. However, when a particular fire starts, there must be fire engines and water installations that have water to put out the fire. However, in most cases when fires start, people use soil and pour water to try and stop it and it is not very effective. We need the right equipment in place to avoid catastrophes like this next time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
