    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying that lack of planning has been a major reason for the disasters. In this Bill, we will get the body that will support and coordinate the various activities that will be taking place in this country. Disasters have recently increased because, as the population grows, people settle in areas that were previously open land and which are meant to absorb erratic rains. Such lands also act as a buffer to surface running water. If this Bill goes through, the Authority’s major issue will be to ensure that this country has proper planning in place in terms of land use. Also, that the response to disaster is systematic and cyclic, before, during and after the disaster so that we live well while being cushioned against the disasters that we know come now and again."
