    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to reiterate what my brother Osotsi has raised about the important matters affecting our environment, including the issues of flooding. The reality on the ground is that we do not know whether we will have a typhoon or whether we will have excessive amounts of rainfall and all that. I think it is something that this House should be engaged in. Even when my colleagues have discussed issues about what is supposed to be done in relation to global warming and the challenges coming out of it, I feel that our country is not prepared for eventualities like this. I would like to persuade my colleagues who sit on the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and National Resources in the Senate to make sure that we can even set up a task force. The task force is supposed to be engaged in discussing the rural areas where our people live and not only Nairobi. We are having challenges and it looks like nobody is aware or will give a way forward on what we should do. If you discuss issues pertaining to emergency funding, whether the county government should engage or not, what are the percentages and emergency funding from the national Government? We do not have clarity on those matters."
