    "content": "Secondly, as we speak, there is no order in the way people enter and leave the ferry. We even do not know how many people are carried in each trip ferry makes. This is because people simply go in like goats and there even is no head count to know how many are transported. I think that should also be done. The Departmental Committee on Transport Public Works and Housing should also be concerned about some of these activities that are within its docket. The Committee should play an active role so that safety is maintained. We do not want to blame the Managing Director (MD) for the Kenya Ferry Services. We should blame ourselves as a country. I am sorry to say this because I am also a politician but we keep on dumping politicians who have lost in elections in positions they are not even trained for. What do you expect? We saw it happen yesterday. People did not qualify for appointment, but we said they are our colleagues and we should help them. So, if we are fighting corruption, we ought to lead by example. It is sad that the Commission that was passed here yesterday, most of the persons there do not qualify. Only a few qualify. It is not a balanced Commission. Most of them do not know much about land matters, but here we are. We have appointed people to the National Land Commission who do not meet the requisite threshold."
