    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it came out clearly from the Report that the tragedy was man made and that it was not an act of God. It also came out clearly that the Patels deliberately did this by diverting the water, because they were cunning. They had projected that they were going to mint money out of the diversion of water. Madam Temporary Speaker, it also came out clearly that there was environmental degradation due to immense soil erosion. A lot of soil was eroded from the first, second and third layer of soil. This erosion will have a terrible impact on food security. For this soil to be replaced, it may require transporting soil from another area and bringing it to this area so that people can move on with their lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that, at the moment, people are moving on with their lives. Life moves on for everyone else except for the families which were involved in the Solai Tragedy. Their lives have not moved on and things are not as usual. As we speak today, we have orphans and there is need for us, as a nation, to ask ourselves where they will go. These orphans lack parental support because they do not have their parents; they do not have a roof over their heads or food. This is painful because these orphans have a long journey in life. If there will be any interventions, there is need to ensure that these orphans are taken care of throughout their journey in life. Madam Temporary Speaker, I remember there was such a tragedy during the bombing of the US Embassy bombings Nairobi and many children were orphaned. The American Government took it upon itself to ensure that these orphans moved on with life. They were taken to colleges, some have even become prominent people in life and they 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."
