    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of the County of Narok, I send my heartfelt condolences to all the families whose relatives perished in this accident. Accidents distort people’s thinking. I know the owner of the bus. He is a good friend of mine. His name is Cleophas Toto. At the moment, he is also in a tough position going by what the Inspector-General is saying about this accident. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my biggest concern is to do with the issue of liability. It is time we thought about the liability with regard to accidents on our roads. In other countries, passengers are normally covered and compensated when they are involved in accidents. It is unfortunate that this does not happen in Kenya. As Sen. (Dr.) Langat said, the NTSA is quick to give statistics of deaths. What is the responsibility of the insurance companies when our people are involved in accidents? Does their insurance policy cover the passengers in our vehicles? We must make sure that our vehicles are roadworthy. Maybe it is time we encouraged a discussion on issues of liability. For example, what kind of insurance policy should Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) have? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
