    "content": " Clause 5 provides for the establishment of an intergovernmental council on disaster risk management. It comprises of 10 Cabinet Secretaries and the Chairperson of the Council of Governors. The Committee recommended its deletion for the following reasons: The proposed intergovernmental council will be bureaucratic. Remember it is made up of 10 Cabinet Secretaries and the reporting structure is unclear as to how the more than a third of the Cabinet as currently constituted will be reporting to the same Cabinet. That is why we as a Committee recommended to remove the intergovernmental council. The arrangement may occasion delays in critical decision making for effective disaster risk management. Typically, during response, the authority is best placed to discharge the functions than the intergovernmental council. We wanted to do away with many Cabinet Secretaries forming the intergovernmental council. Therefore, let us delete it."
