    "content": "first degree murder. That is what the owners of the dam in Brazil were charged with – murder – because it is death by deliberate action. When you cause death by deliberate action, you do not get a slap or a pat on your back; you are charged with murder and you treat that person like a murderer. If these were sons of the people who matter in this country – if it was an accident on Mombasa Road that killed the sons of rich men--- Like I said, if those children in Mwingi were sons of rich people in this country, they would have been flown to Nairobi Hospital by helicopter. However, they died on their way to Nairobi. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a country of Karl Marx; the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. These children do not matter. They are probably in unmarked graves. In a few days they will be forgotten. If you read the report of Mr. George Kegoro, some people were buried in a hurry. Why? They were in a hurry because they could not contact their relatives. They are buried in the Patel farm. They are forgotten in unmarked graves. That is what happens to people who do not matter. The Bible says that even if you walk in the valley of shadow of death, you shall fear no evil. Sen. M. Kajwang’ has said that he fears no evil. The ones who wanted to walk the path and walk the talk, through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil because we have conquered in Jesus’ name. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I coincidentally saw a report this morning by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) who have arrived at the same finding. The same finding that the Chief of Solai was compromised to draw three lists and put his friends. This man is still in office. This is a country of Karl Marx; people who are protected because the people who are their Lords are not the Constitution, but their pockets, money and their stomachs. Greed is what got Mr. Perry Mansukh to construct a dam like he was God. He attempted to play God and God came down and punished him. I told Mr. Perry Mansukh here that as he celebrates on his 800-acre farm where wildlife live better than people, the cries of these children who were in primary school when they wake up every morning and cannot find their fathers and mothers around the house, will be in his house for the rest of his life. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is the Bible. I am not quoting something that is out of the ordinary. That is what it is. He and his wealth are cursed. He had better begin donating his land to the people of Solai and give them food. The worst thing you can do to a human being is deny them food. This dam has denied people food. They cannot farm or live peacefully because every time they hear a small bang, they think water is coming down. The circumstances and environment will never be the same in Solai. Those who say that this tragedy was five kilometers are not right because this tragedy was 15 kilometers of flowing water at high speed. Sometimes I think that we should have extended this investigation to 15 kilometers to check. From the reports I have seen from the national Government, after the Solai trading center, we are not told what happened beyond that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot even trust these county commissioners who were busy dishing money as a consolation and signing for it.
