"content": "The National Disaster Risk Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 28 of 2021) has come at the right time. Our response to disaster in this country has been a knee-jerk reaction that is not coordinated. When we had the 1998 bombing, anybody became a rescuer, even those who had no know-how. When we had Al Shabaab attack at a certain mall, everybody, including the Governor of Kajiado County—Hon. Ole Lenku— became a specialist of rescuing people. He ended up saying that mattresses were being burnt. He shamed himself and the whole Maa Community. This is because of our knee-jerk reaction. This Bill has come at the right time to coordinate disaster response. We will also train people to respond to disasters. When we have a mere car accident on our roads, sometimes, somebody gets a spinal injury. Rescuing him without any paramedical training or knowledge may end up causing more harm than good. You may disable him permanently."
