"content": "They will also focus on training where counties and the relevant Ministry in the national Government will budget sufficient money to train on fire. The boards will come up with policies that will help in issues of fire and rescue services. It is true that we have been having issues and problems in our counties on the breakdown of fire equipment. It is something that is there. It is not history to us. However, the way we have been handling recoveries or paying those affected has never been in place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill that at least puts some structures in place, so that counties know they will be handling the fire disasters. I thank the Mover for coming up with this Bill because in every financial year, counties will come up with plans on how to budget and put money on their vote-heads. This is so that in case of fire, there is good management and the affected people will recover their properties. We have seen fire in schools and there has been a lot of damage in our schools. We have seen electricity causing many fires in our major towns and people have lost properties. Therefore, this Bill will assist the country manage this disaster. It is also coming at a time where the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, of which I am a Member, is coming up with a Bill on disaster management. This will go hand in hand with this Bill. I am sure it will also be an important Bill to our county governments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will come up with proposed amendments. I second this Bill. I thank you."
