    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am saying that, in the lower part of Matungulu Constituency, we know very well that during the rainy seasons, it floods. The only people who come to rescue my people are either the police or the Red Cross. It is high time that we had this authority to make sure that we, as leaders, have a point of call. We should delink ourselves from becoming the point of call for any disaster. This is a very important authority. If you look at the developed countries, for example, Germany, United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK), et cetera, you will find that they know how to manage their disaster issues. It is a wake-up call for this country to make sure that we work for the people and do the best for this country to ensure that what Hon. Sankok has said that he does not want an increase in the number of persons with disabilities (PWDs) as a result of people being maimed during disasters come to pass. This will ensure that the kitty for the PWDs is not exhausted. This is a very important Bill and I wish to urge the leadership of this House to make sure that we fast-track it so that it can go to the Senate. I also want to urge our Senators to keep their differences aside and pass this Bill as quickly as possible so that it can be assented to by the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
