    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee of National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the preparedness of the Government of Kenya in mitigating the effects of the anticipated El Nino induced climate extremes between August and December, 2023. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Highlight the cross-sectoral preparedness by the Government in mitigating the adverse effects of the anticipated El Nino induced climate extremes to avert human suffering and prevent environmental degradation. (2) Explain the measures and policies, if any, established by the national Government and county governments on disaster intervention through capacity building for early warning and disaster preparedness, and how the same is being applied to mitigate climate-related disasters. (3) State if there is substantial public awareness of the impending impact of the anticipated El Nino weather phenomena, particularly to the vulnerable population. (4) Ascertain whether the national Government and county governments have instituted cross-sectoral collaborative teams to manage the effects of the anticipated El Nino, drawing lessons from the past oversights and neglect as witnessed in the El Nino catastrophe of 1997/1998. I thank you."
