This phenomenon exacerbates food insecurity, water scarcity, and the spread of vector-borne diseases amplifying disaster risks across the country. Kenya also faces limited resources and capacity gaps in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Insufficient funding, inadequate infrastructure and a shortage of skilled personnel hinder the Government’s ability to address disaster risks comprehensively. Urbanisation and informal settlements are areas where we need intervention. Rapid urbanisation and proliferation of informal settlements in cities like Nairobi exacerbate vulnerability to disasters. Poorly planned urban areas lack adequate infrastructure services and land use regulations increasing the population’s exposure to hazards such as floods, fires and landslides. Despite efforts to strengthen the institutional framework for disaster risk management, challenges persist in governance and coordination among relevant stakeholders. Fragmentation, overlapping mandates, and weak coordination mechanisms hinder effective The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
