    "content": "We have seen very many disasters happen in this country, and we have seen nobody take responsibility or provide resources. I presume that is why all these ministries are being put together. The National Assembly is key in appropriating resources for disaster management. Therefore, this Bill is very important. If there is no response at the Government level, the responsibility lies squarely with the cabinet secretaries and the Council of Governors (CoG). That means there will be continuous engagement in terms of the way we relate to disaster issues. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I see some conflict of interest in this Bill. We are talking about the Intergovernmental Council of Disaster Risk Management as the apex. Then the National Disaster Management Authority follows. We have to be very careful with the structures. Where is specialisation? The Council lacks specialisation. For example, I have seen that the Council and the Authority will have the Principal Secretary responsible for disaster risk management and another one responsible for drought management. This is one and the same thing."
