    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to support this Bill because disasters have taken a toll on the socio-economic and political aspects of this land. This is an area that has never been given a lot of attention in the past. Therefore, with this Bill, we should have more focus on how to manage this animal called disaster. It is true that we have never had a legal framework for coordinating disasters in this country, and that is what this Bill is addressing. The establishment of the Intergovernmental Council on Disaster Risk Management and the National Disaster Risk Management Authority will form the basis for coordinating activities of various types of disasters when they occur. I note that the counties will also be involved. In the past, counties were left out in the management of disasters. The Bill classifies disasters. We have suffered because of floods, which are natural. We have also suffered from man-made disasters in this country. We have also suffered from earthquakes. We have suffered from wild fires as well as industrial fires. In addition, we have suffered terrorist attacks and pandemics. This Bill, therefore, classifies various disasters with reference to how each one of them will be dealt with."
