    "content": "On the matter of Likoni Channel, I went to support Hon. Mishi Mboko. The lady and the child who perished come from Makueni. She was married in Makueni although she comes from Taita Taveta. I went there and worked with Hon. Mishi Mboko, and we were briefed. The recovery exercise was very well-coordinated by the Kenya Navy. They had one centre. We met the Chairman of the Kenya Ferry Services, Hon. Mwanzo. You could almost pick that they were almost giving up but Mr. John Wambua remained very hopeful that somebody would help even when the person from Sweden did not seem to do very well. The local divers were dismissed when they said that there were 10 vehicles in the water, and many people who had never been recovered. I was touched when somebody made a serious effort. At the Coast, the talk was bad and they were wondering how we were going to celebrate Mashujaa Day with people drowned in there, with all the training and equipment with the laws we have passed in this House to make sure that ferries are safe. The people who retrieved the vehicle must be honoured by this country. It was such a relief to the people of Makueni, Mombasa and Taita-Taveta. This is a matter that the country and the whole world has followed keenly."
