    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to second that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. I really think that the provisions of the Bill as proposed by hon. Ganya do sort out very many issues. I am particularly very interested in the New Clause 6(A) of the Bill that does introduce the manner in which the Authority established is going to be coordinating, harmonising and offering a timely response to drought emergency issues in Kenya. You know for a fact that this has for a long time been left to civil society organisations or random people. However, I really think this is something that is very timely. The other thing that I think the Bill does anticipate is coordination between the counties and the various levels of Government. That in our opinion is going to support in terms of drought preparedness and drought response, which is key and a very good thing. Lastly is the fact that this particular Bill does envisage that there ought to be an emergency fund that is going to respond to droughts. Ordinarily, drought management is a huge thing and an emergency fund ought to have been established long time ago. I really think that it is good for us to support. Thank you."
