    "content": "The Member for Nairobi City County has informed me that it is young men and women. I said ‘men’ because I was speaking about those young men from Nairobi City County. However, I also appreciate the young and elderly women from Korogocho who cheered on and prayed for those six young men as they swam in very strong tides of floods to save the soul of the young girl. It will take time to identify and train such young men and women in our country to become first responders. Disaster strikes the neighbourhoods where they live. The first responders to any disaster count most. During road accidents, the people at the scene save lives. We should have as many of our young men and women as possible trained. Maybe the National Youth Service (NYS) and other Government agencies should train as many people as possible not just how to save lives during accidents and disasters like floods and earthquakes, but also in all manner of disasters. I commend those young men and Members, especially those that have proposed amendments and others: Hon. Irene Mayaka and the Member for Nairobi, Hon. Passaris. I commend the Member of Dagoretti South, Hon. KJ, and Hon. Kaguchia from Mukurweini. Of course, I commend the indomitable Chair, the only Chair from West Pokot County. He knows many more would have lost lives were it not for fast responders saving many people on that fateful day disaster struck West Pokot. I commend the Chair, Hon. Lochakapong, for the efforts he has made to ensure this Bill gets to where it is. Thank you."
