    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to agree with my colleagues who have spoken before me. This is a Motion of national importance. We have lost people in West Pokot. On my behalf and on behalf of my people of Voi, I say pole to the people. I want to condole with the families of the affected people. This should not be politicised. People have lost lives. We should not be sitting here talking about politics when people were buried while others have not even been seen. Some of them cannot even be located. Some of the injured cannot be taken to hospital because there are no roads. We should concentrate on the emotion about this. When we start politicising everything that happens, we destroy this country. It is true we have not taken care of our nature. Nature is fighting back. We have not treated nature well. We are cutting down trees everywhere. We are harvesting sand from rivers. Everything has not been done right in this country. But having said that, if the Red Cross reached where the people are, you cannot tell me the Government could not reach the place. The Government should be serious about some of these things. We have the county government. We have not seen any county government vehicle from West Pokot reaching the people. We need to see how we manage disasters in future."
