    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if this comes this will be the end of that. There will be accountability, repository or even stores to store some of these things so that we can help our people get back to their feet after a disaster. Those provisions have been provided, offenses and penalties. Anybody who, first, misuses that fund. Secondly, anybody who knowingly for instance. You know some people can do prank wars. When we were children in Nairobi, we used to tap the phones. You tap and find you have called somewhere and you have called 999 and tell the police that this and that has happened. We tell the fire engine this and that has happened yet it has not happened. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you are caught also lying, there must be a penalty. Imagine deploying ten trucks to go all the way to the site of a disaster yet there is nothing and then there is an actual disaster elsewhere. You might actually cost lives of people. We have given legislative powers that we delegated to the CS responsible for matters related to disaster risk management. As it is that is most likely the CS for the Ministry of Devolution or Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government actually. Some of these entities and that was the problem. You find one entity under this ministry and National Disaster Operations Centre (NDOC) is under another ministry and National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU) is in another ministry. They will be all under one CS who can deal with that and make sure that staffing is done. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the transitional provisions, we also provide for the transition. I remember the other Bill I had done. The first time we did one on National Employment Authority (NEA). The President sent it back and I was very hurt. I thought he did not like it. He said no, there already exist the bureau. So, you must provide a transitional clause of how these people move from this bureau where they are now at the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection to the NEA. This time round, I do not want him to return this Bill. We have provided for that transitional provision of how these people can move to the new institution. Madam Temporary Speaker, this concerns county governments. It actually affects the functions, powers and finances of the counties. We have noted that in this Bill. However, enactment of it and why we said it is not a money Bill, will not occasion additional expenditure to the public. I know I have a lot of time and I will go on so that when we come back, I can be seconded by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I know he will really want to second this. I will proceed. It is a body corporate. It is capable of suing and being sued and purchasing and acquiring property. It will need a lot of property. Part of it is to reclaim grabbed properties. A lot of counties, and I thank my former governor, Hon. Sonko. You find car yards in Lavington. There was a car yard which was in Gigiri next to the United Nations (UN) headquarters which is actually a fire station, but somebody was leasing it out to sell cars. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is the place where response in the entire Gigiri and Runda area and UN headquarters where we have all these people; is supposed to be done from. What has happened? It has been taken. Even this fire station in Nairobi Town"
