    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Transport, Public works and Housing regarding the recent crash involving the Ethiopian Airlines ET302 which occurred on Sunday 10th March 2019. The plane crashed en route to Nairobi where 157 lives were lost, among which more than 30 were Kenyans. On behalf of the people of Nyeri County and on my own behalf, I would like to send my deepest and sincere condolences to the families of Kenyans and the countries whose people lost their lives in the devastating air accident. In Nyeri County, we lost two people whom we will be burying tomorrow. The technology involved and the crash raises many questions on the quality of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft and consequently a need for re-inspection to assure the country’s airspace and Kenyan people of their safety. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public works and Housing regarding: (i) The measures the Government is putting in place to assure Kenyans of their safety while using Boeing 737 Max 8 jets, and (ii) The plans, if any, for compensation of the families of the deceased who are Kenyans. Thank you."
