"content": "Thirdly, what happens to those who have lost their loved ones? What happens to the children who had parents yesterday and today they have none? They are now orphaned. What happens to the women who lost their husbands or husbands who lost their wives? What happens after this accident? What happens to those in hospital? Who will meet their hospital bills? There are very many unanswered questions. As we debate this issue, this country needs to stop being reactive and become proactive. Now that it has happened, everybody is up in arms. The NTSA and the police are giving different stories. The truth of the matter, whether we like it or not, is that we have lost lives and the people will never come back to this world. Even if we give many excuses, we need to hold responsible all the people who did not do their work as expected, starting with the police who man roadblocks and the NTSA who should have checked whether the bus was licensed to travel at night. It is a big shame when we see the NTSA saying that the bus was not licensed to travel at night. It was travelling and it has killed people! What are they telling Kenyans? This is a very emotional issue. As a House, we need to make sure that those who are responsible are punished so that it sends a very clear signal to others that if you do not do your work as expected, as per the Constitution, you will pay for your deeds. With those remarks, I support the Motion."
