    "content": "I do not look better with that information, but I will try to look for that report. Madam Temporary Speaker, we went to the Brazil National Command Centre. When a disaster happens across Brazil, it takes 20 seconds to reach the National Command Centre. I hope we will borrow from the best practices as we form this Authority. I am objecting Clause 31. Why are you giving a governor and county commissioner to co-chair? We know the fights we have been having between the national Government and county government. Can you make county commissioners be part of the membership of County Disaster Risk Management Committee? I will be proposing amendment to that. On Clause 41 on appropriation of funds, why are we legislating ourselves out of Parliament? Senate Majority Leader, you should note that it says “The funds of the Authority shall consist of such monies as may be appropriated by the National Assembly.” We need to amend it to say “Parliament” because we participate in budget making process through the Division of Revenue Bill. Let us not legislate ourselves out of Parliament or close business before knowing. I agree on the issue of appointment of the President that we need to have mobility because he is the Chief of the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF). When they mobilize the resources through the KDF, the National Police Service Police, the Office of the Deputy President and the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, there is a way---I always find it funny when the Government officials fly in with choppers to give out beans and maize. Let us look for a better way to do it. With those many remarks, I support this Bill. I thank you."
