"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me the opportunity. I raised this matter with you when I approached you about the directions you gave on the Ethiopian Airline issue. From the discussions that we have had, it is apparent that the matter needs to go to court and a declaration made; that those people are dead, a manifest is produced, so that death certificates can be issued. I am not certain whether you ought to give directions to that level. Although you directed it to the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, I personally believe that it is a matter that should have been dealt with by the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee led by Sen. Cherargei. The only thing that has not been done is the declaration that those 33 Kenyans are dead, which happens in air crashes. This would, therefore, lead to faster production of death certificates. Maybe that can help in either you giving further directions or directing the Committee, so that they do not take too long on a matter where Kenyans have suffered. They have no bodies, nobody to bury, and now they are being harassed. They do not know what to do about their loved ones. It is a very unfortunate incident. You being a teacher of Law, I believe that directive would help."
