    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important Bill. From time to time, we should all support anything to do with disaster management when it comes to us. Establishment of the Intergovernmental Council on Disaster Risk Management is very important. This is because we get into problems especially when it rains. Right now, in some areas people have been displaced because of floods especially, where I come from. Sometimes, even winds blow off roofs of schools and houses. Most times, we are unprepared for disasters. So, the National Disaster Risk Management Bill will guide and help both at the national and county levels. We mostly lose people to various disasters like fires. They lose their homes, properties and lives. The best thing is to have this Bill in place so as to manage disasters. I support it because of the composition of the board which will be made up of qualified and well experienced people holding office. The Bill is addressing different issues like vacation of office, functions of the board and powers of the board, committees of the board and delegation by the board. This is to ensure that citizens are taken good care of all the way to the grassroots level. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Bill and pray that many people will support it. So, if it is implemented, it will help Kenyans when they face disasters. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
