    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope you will compensate me for that minute lost. There was no one to turn to because what my people did was to call me as their Member of Parliament. They also called the Governor and the Member of County Assembly and yet, the three offices do not have a fund specifically set aside for disasters, rather than the county government which has little funds to contribute. Therefore, by virtue of the creation of this Authority, we are going to have a place where we can call and say one, two and three disasters have happened and this is required to be done. I, therefore, want to thank the Member for thinking big in terms of making sure that Kenyans can now have somewhere to call for help. This House should be able to apportion enough money to cushion Kenyans once and for all in terms of disasters. The Bill also proposes that this shall serve as a command center for all communications, which I have also alluded to. We will be able to call and have our position in terms of raising the concerns and coordinating the disaster that has occurred and this is going to be a good thing. This Bill is also good because through capacity building at both levels of government – the county governments and the national Government - there will be good coordination. We will talk to the county governments and the national Government. County governments have been urged to make a budget for disaster management and, at the same time, coordinate with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government."
