    "content": "We have had a few disasters in this country. I remember the bombing of our great mall. We all saw what happened. The military came in. When such a disaster occurs, I do not think the military has that kind of expertise to move in. You cannot move into a mall when you do not have its drawings. Just by moving in you can create further disaster because you need to know where the services are. You need to know where the lifts are, where to get water and where the electrical connections are. All these things need to be managed in a good way. As a country, this is something we need to plan well. The way it was done at the Westgate Mall was not good. We saw the military and ordinary Kenyans move in, in a disorganised manner. That is why we lost many lives. I am happy that the Bill is very clear on how we will register volunteers, how to classify them and get them uniforms. We have had so many people when disasters occur volunteering, but their capability is not known. It is good that the Bill provides how they will be segregated and the services they will offer."
