    "content": "In the Fourth Schedule, disaster management is actually a concurrent function of both the national and county levels. There could be national disasters that are beyond the scope of one county. For instance, if a disaster is between the Counties of Laikipia, Samburu and Nyeri, for instance, then that is dealt with jointly through the disaster coordination committees at the county as well as the NDRMA because it is a shared function according to the Fourth Schedule. Madam Temporary Speaker, we propose to bring together the National Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC) that exists, the National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU) that is in existence and the Department of Special Programs at the hospices of the proposed NDRMA. We are not creating necessarily a new body. We have enough institutions. We are bringing together institutions that for a long time have been too uncoordinated. The left does not know what the right is doing. You remember when a building collapsed in Huruma. That time I was not the Senator but I went there and spent three nights. I did not leave the site you remember. Throughout that time, I was so sad. I had to buy the machines that are used to cut the steel bars, because people were trapped in those buildings. I as a citizen had to buy, yet I had military officers there and the National Youth Service (NYS) headquarters is so close. They said because of the bureaucracy, they could not get someone to approve a voucher and do what."
