My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I do pray that the souls of the departed rest in peace. I do not want to say much because this is a sad incident that requires action rather than words. But suffice it to say that I have ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to this avoidable disaster with a view to taking action to ensure that as much as is humanly possible, this type of scenario does not recur.

The career path you have chosen for yourselves requires impeccable integrity, courage and the highest sense of patriotism.
