    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I sincerely hope that Sen. Kang’ata is not opposing for the sake of it. This is the last time I will interrupt him. Is it in order for him to mislead the House and contradict himself? He has given us an example of human rights, where there are many bodies. He has said on record that we should amalgamate them. He is talking about tourism where there are many bodies. We should amalgamate them. What this Bill is doing is bringing together three different bodies. The National Disaster Operations Centre (NDOC) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1998 after ElNiño . It is established by a Statute. The same applies to the National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU). There is now the Special Programmes Department, where you have to call people to ask them for food and mabati when there is a disaster. We are bringing them together. His own argument against bringing them together is what he is using to propose that the human rights entities should be brought together. What we are doing is bringing tourism entities together. I would just urge him that maybe he should have spent some more time with the Bill to understand it a bit, not to oppose for the sake of it. What he is pushing for is exactly what this Bill is actually doing for the benefit of the people of Kenya. In fact, it will be cheaper. The economies of scale demand one entity doing one thing, instead of three entities going against each other doing the same thing. There is a lot of wastage there. That is what we are trying to do. That is the last time I will interrupt him. I will give more details when I reply. Thank you."
