    "content": "Last year, we had floods in some place in Ruiru, where a dam broke its banks and over 200 residents were locked inside their homes. We lacked the necessary equipment to evacuate them. At that point in time, I wished the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) had a kitty which could support the evacuation exercise. We would have rushed to it. Therefore, it is one of my proposals that, maybe, within the NG-CDF kitty, we should have a small budget for disaster management because disasters happen at the grassroots level, where we represent the people. It was also said that when disasters happen, there is no coordination. It should be well stipulated how disasters can be managed, and what kind of disaster should be managed by who. You can recall that people are killed as communities try to save others among themselves. We need good order so that we can save lives, rather than lose lives as we try to save lives. With those few remarks, I support."
