    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this Motion of Adjournment. I send my condolences, those of my family, the people I represent in Bungoma and the FORD Kenya (FORD-K) Party to the people of West Pokot County. West Pokot is a poor county set in a very difficult terrain. This is a county that has suffered neglect from colonial Kenya, through independent Governments of this country. At one time, West Pokot used to be referred to as a closed district, where the Government would close the entire county from access by anybody. Therefore, no media or nothing could go there and they would commit untold atrocities against the people of that county. It is even more tragic that Mother Nature can bring such pain to the people of West Pokot County. We have had landslides in Central Kenya, Murang’a County in particular, Khuvasali in Malava Constituency which is in Kakamega County, and other parts of the country, but it has never been that tragic. I expected the national Government to direct that flags be flown at half-mast in remembrance and acknowledgement of the tragedy that has hit West Pokot County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
