    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was the former Regional Manager for Red Cross in Northern Kenya and I was so much involved in disaster related issues. I want to support this Bill, but as we speak, the National Drought Management Authority (NEMA) is already doing the same function that is captured in this Bil. The only difference is that, as we are speaking, they are dealing with slow onset disasters, like drought and we only need to expand their mandate, so that they can deal with slow onset disasters like fire outbreak and all we are talking about. As we speak, they are dealing with issues of coordination of response and building capacities for staff that are involved with response. I have been in the command centres that are involved with different interventions as provided in different areas and coordination of response between two levels of Government and other non-state actors. They also provide issues of early warning that is really helping and of course monitoring and evaluation of different response by different actors."
