    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very sad issue. Let me start by congratulating the Members of the Committee and the Chair for such lovely piece of work. I know it was with a very heavy heart to go through all those issues. However, you have done a very commendable job and with your heart in it. When I heard about this tragedy and having watched the news on television, it looked like a movie. It did not seem like real happenings until one realises it is. It was with great sadness to see children, women, old men and young men try to cling to anything to save their lives, which was extremely sad. It is equally sad to hear that some national and county government agencies, who are supposed to take care of our people during such a time, approached their work with a lukewarm spirit as if they were not dealing with lives. It was the direct responsibility of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the Water Resource Management Authority (WARMA) and the Ministry of Water and Sanitation to see the problem and help the people even before the Senate Committee got there. It is also criminal to note that there was no license for this dam but everything went on as normal. I hear there are other dams and yet we have Government agencies who are supposed to take care of that. It shows that either they do not care about the lives of Kenyans or they are just there. I wonder if they deserve to be in those jobs, because there are many Kenyans who would want to work and give service to other Kenyans. I strongly recommend the adoption of the Report. I also want to 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."
