• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to air my voice and support the Statement by my brother, Sen. Wambua, with regards to this important Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, disasters do occur and they will occur, but how prepared are we, as a Government? What is lacking is coordination. We need to summon all those related Ministries to appear before the Senate to answer serious questions and give us practical The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Okay. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to wind up on my statement so that I can give other Members an opportunity to contribute to this worthy Statement or debate. I urge, repeat and reiterate that it is imperative that the Government departments concerned with management of disasters and the like need to come before the Senate and give a comprehensive solution to what they are going to do, now that the rains are causing havoc. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is good you have seen that all female Senators were congratulating our sister. As a brother and as a good friend to Sen.

• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. I support the Statement by the distinguished Senator of Makueni, Hon. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. I wish to state that this is not the first time that such an incident or disaster has happened in Mombasa. We have had several disasters such as Mtongwe Ferry Tragedy. I understand that up to date, some of the family members who lost their loved ones in that tragedy have not been compensated fully. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: We need to know the causes of some of the disasters. The causes could be twofold. They could be caused by nature or what we call an act of God, which is not questionable in law. It could also be as a result of human negligence, which is my concern. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a professor of law, you appreciate that naturally, there are case laws where if things or sacks in a warehouse start falling by themselves when you walk there, we invoke the maxim of res ipsa loquitur . There must be a reason why they are ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: My last line of thought is that it is around 57 years since Independence. Why has the Government not constructed a mega bridge or even tunnel like those in Europe, China and other countries? This country has a lot of money. It is time we thought outside the box and constructed big bridges like those in California, San Francisco, China and Abraham Lincoln Bridge in New York. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: There is also the issue of maintaining discipline in terms of the management of the ferry. I appreciate from the clips we watched that the way the vehicle moved out of the ferry was not in angular formation. I mean the door was supposed to have been raised maybe at an angle of 45 degrees but it was not. That is why it was very easy out of a little inertia or commotion of that vector in a liner motion for the vehicle to topple from its natural state. That is how the accident occurred. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Notwithstanding that, we are yet to get the report. Once we have the report from the body concerned, it will be tabled here and we shall comprehensively decipher it. view
