    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I am a very sad person because my people have died out of this calamity. I always call myself a Pokot because I admire the character of the Pokot people. This incident raises various questions. One, is this country prepared for this kind of incident? Are we trying to handle our climate? Two, when these kinds of situations happen, do we need to politicise it? Where I come from, there is a saying that “ tang’i mwangane mwanjanere matati ”: You can hate each other, you can reject each other, but if a relative or a person of your enemy dies, you all set the differences aside and come together. Unless the other person whom you do not work with killed that person, you all come together and condole with each other. We should be condoling with the people of West Pokot. We should not be politicising this issue, with all due respect to my colleagues. Yes, some two or three cabinet secretaries were trying to get there, but their pilot told them the flight could not reach that point. Did you want them to go there and die, so that we can have more people dying? What we want is action to assist the people of West Pokot."
