"content": "implemented. We also have funds that have been allocated to such disasters, but unfortunately, have been misused. I want to congratulate our President because he is very keen on how every coin is used in this country. It is high time we got rid of all the corrupt people so that every coin would be put into use. Our target should now be investing in disaster risk reduction. Many people are saying that probably after these heavy rains, we would have drought that will affect us for the next many months, and Kenyans will still go back to where we were two years ago. It is quite ugly because it is like firefighting. We are not doing things that will fix our problems but rather, reduce the challenges that we are in. Again, we need to focus on eenhancing disaster preparedness for effective response. For instance, any time from now, there will be heavy rains. How prepared are we? Experience is the best teacher as we have already lost many people. We should ensure that no more lives are lost. We must ensure that every county government is responsible enough at the grassroot level to save lives. It is my prayer that the national Government will be ready to effectively respond, and save lives where necessary. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I pray that Kenyans will get out of this reactive way of doing things. And that way, we will prevent any problem that might arise so that we are able to save lives."
