    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am reading this on behalf of Sen. Mumma who is out of the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, regarding the disaster response undertaken by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Nairobi City County government to mitigate the effects of flood in Nairobi. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Clarify the existence of an inter-governmental agreement between the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Nairobi City County government for coordinating flood responses, specifying tasks assigned to each level of government. (2) Provide up-to-date data on deaths, injuries, displaced households, especially in informal settlements such as Mathare, Kibra, Kawangware, Mukuru and closed schools and affected students. (3) Detail financial and non-pecuniary support allocated by the national and county governments for affected households, schools and communities, stating the various roles of various Ministries, Departments and Agencies involved in the response, for example, the Kenya Red Cross Society and National Disaster Management Unit (NDOC). (4) Clarify whether Housing and Urban Planning departments have integrated climate-marked strategies into urban development plans to enhance resilience against disasters such as floods and mention the role and involvement of non-State actors, development partners and public benefit organisations in building resilience mechanisms against disasters such as floods. (5) Finally, coordinate an Inter-Governmental Disaster Management Conference involving national Government Executives, the Council of Governors (CoG), Parliament and other stakeholders to review national disaster response strategies and identify areas for legal policy, regulatory and institutional improvements."
