    "content": "so. We have not even heard a statement from the Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. Instead, the CS has appointed somebody else to chair a taskforce as if that person is an expert. Our disaster preparedness is wanting. It is unfortunate that a ferry carrying so many people does not have a diver or equipment. The person operating the ferry continues moving even after the car slide into the ocean. I wonder what would have happened if he stopped and attempted to push the vehicle. He continued moving away from the vehicle. It is a grave tragedy to lose such a young family in the manner that we did in a place where we take pride as a cross-over for tourists and other ‘big people’. All of us are in danger. I wonder what will happen next time a ferry capsizes with ‘big people’ in it. Who is going to save this country? Is that channel safe? That is a question that must be addressed for the future. Is the Likoni Ferry Channel crossing safe? Should we have disaster mechanisms, divers and equipment on board because this would have been any other person who would have fallen to that water and drowned mercilessly? Sen. Wetangula wondered why they are searching for the vehicle that sank in the ocean physically. I can equate that to looking for a needle in a haystack. In a country that takes pride in technology, nobody has employed technology such as satellite pictures to locate the site of the vehicle. The divers are using their eyes to search for the car that sank in the ocean and chances are that because of the tide, the vehicle could have gone very far away. I thank you."
