    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to condole with the families that have lost their loved ones. On behalf of my family and myself, I pass my condolences. It is really unfortunate that these children had almost reached their destination when the accident happened. It is just like going to the well, fetch water and then, on just reaching at the doorstep, the pot breaks. It is very painful. That is exactly what happened. One mainstream media said that they were three kilometers away from their destination. Another one said that they were two kilometers away from their destination. That tells that they were near their destination and it is very painful. I remember vividly seeing a man on electronic media saying that he had actually spoken to his daughter, who actually confirmed that she had improved to position ten. The father was waiting to meet and commend her for the performance. It is painful that ten students died. These are ten leaders who died. The ten students who died would have probably been ten Senators or even dignitaries, for we do not know what they would have become in the future. It is unfortunate that their lives had to come to a stop at that particular time. I feel sorry for the parents of these children for they are going through psychological trauma and they need psychosocial support. There is need for centres to be put in place to give psychosocial support for people who lose their lives abruptly like this, especially through road accidents. These were children who were not sick but the cruel hand of death took them away in that terrible manner. There is also need for schools to ensure that they implement the provision of traveling during the day."
