    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the same note, I want to send my condolences to the families of the two teachers who lost their lives yesterday to an AlShabaab attack. It is something that we also need to talk about. For the people who lost their lives and the ones undergoing treatment, I urge the Government and all of us to see how best we can support them. Yesterday, we were told the mortuary facility at Fort Ternan is overstretched because it can only accommodate 16 bodies. There are 56 bodies in that mortuary which poses a great challenge to family members identifying their loved ones. We all know the health function is fully devolved and Kenyans are investing a lot of resources in the Ministry of Health. We have a lot of hope in this Ministry. It is high time we knew what goes on in our small medical centres because we never know what will happen tomorrow. I urge the national Government to assist the bereaved families to identify their loved ones in the mortuary. We should not just leave the whole responsibility to the affected county. We all need to come out and see how best we can help them. The Kenya Red Cross and other organisations need to support these families. Losing 56 lives is not a joke. We mourn together with the families and pray that this will not happen again."
