    "content": "This Bill is very important. This is one of the Bills that this House had already passed. Subsequent to the court ruling, which was made in favour of the Senate, this Bill was one of those that had to be republished. However, we had already passed it as a Senate. This Bill had gone onward transmission to the National Assembly. Madam Temporary Speaker, the reasoning behind or the purpose of this Bill is to establish a model or system through which we can manage disasters in this country. This is to establish the National Disaster Risk Management Authority (NDRMA) and County Disaster Risk Management Committees (CDRMC) to provide for a legal framework for the coordination of disaster risk management and for connected purposes. I would urge Members to go through. The Bill is available on the devices and any Member can access it. Very quickly, I think we all know what has been happening across the country. I will give an example. In Nairobi County, every two weeks or month, there is a fire and some form of disaster or another. We had a building collapse recently. We have had workers at a construction site where an entire crane fell and killed a few people just on the day when we were having the funeral service for Sen. Prengei. Madam Temporary Speaker, it has almost become a norm. In fact, at some point I said I have stopped going to Gikomba. Every so often, we go there and make huge statements but there is no authority that can follow up the arson in Gikomba market."
