    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to condole with the parents and the people of Kitui. On behalf of the people of Bomet County, I wish to send my condolences to the bereaved families. I looked at the photographs of the pupils who passed on with a lot of pain. You will realize that many of those kids were the top cream of that school, thus the school lost - as somebody pointed out – engineers, doctors and many other special people that we would have had in the future. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has put a rule that no school bus or students should be transported after 6.00 p.m. I am sure that the people concerned did not implement this policy and that is why we have school buses on our roads even past 11p.m. It is unfortunate that we lost these particular children at 11.00 p.m. I am sure that visibility was very dim on the roads and even if they had two drivers, none of them would have been able to negotiate the big lump of soil that was on the road. I am sure that there is somebody in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology who is sleeping on the job and that is why this rule has been left to die. During this holiday, we have seen many school children travelling and we have to stamp authority to ensure that the policy that has been put in place is followed to the letter. I am sure that if the Level 4 Hospital was working, some of the children would have been saved. However, it is unfortunate to hear that a hospital of that particular level lacked a trauma center and medicine. One of the four pillars of the Jubilee Government is affordable health care. If a Level 4 Hospital does not have the necessary services, what do you expect of the other hospitals? Somebody should be held responsible in that particular hospital. Were there any drugs in that particular hospital? Were there any necessary services or the people on call to receive those pupils or any other people who could be taken to that hospital at that particular time?"
