"content": "Finally, the social media, as my friend Millie Odhiambo said, is quite insensitive. I watched that video. As a lay person, I asked so many questions. The video showed clearly that the vehicle was floating on the water for quite a while before it sunk. That is the moment at which anybody who was keen to save lives could have stepped in. It took a bit of time and I was wondering how it floated. What happened to the vehicle? It was on the water for quite some time. Somebody should have stepped in to save lives. A friend of mine in the US sent me a text and said that was so easy to save lives on that vehicle. We would have sent a plane to pick that vehicle and carry it over. Are we ready to save lives when it comes to such difficult emergencies? There are very many ways of saving lives. We must have not only the ambulance and the divers nearby, but also certain gadgets that may make us reach there on time and carry the entire vehicle on to the shoreline. Let us be real, practical and move fast. Let us forget about bureaucracy that stops people who should be able to save lives, saving lives."
