    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, multiple fire outbreaks have been recorded, beginning with a blaze on 1st February, 2025 in Lbaa Oibor, which spread rapidly to Lderendei, destroying over 1,000 acres. Subsequently, fires erupted in Ltirim Loldrkesi on 7th February, 2025 burning for four days. Again, on 13th February, 2025 affecting Sikira Plain, Lkangura Loregel and Marti Plateau, with flames raging for eight days consistently. In March, fires continued, with an incident on 4th March, 2025 burning for five days from Naagis to Lomirog Hill. Another fire broke out on 7th March, 2025 in Noosidan and Ltepes. In total, more than 30,000 acres of crucial forage have been lost. Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite prompt reporting to the County Disaster Department and information sharing with the local community, there was no effective response due to inadequate disaster preparedness in the region. Security agencies were notified and efforts were made by the Grevy's Zebra Trust (GZT) along with conservancy rangers to control the fires, but they were overwhelmed. In the Statement the committee should- (1) Investigate the causes of the fires, including potential natural factors or human activities such as arson, land disputes, or illegal practices. (2) State whether there are plans to enhance security measures to facilitate community participation in disaster mitigation and to establish a regional disaster response unit equipped to handle wildfires (3) Assess disaster preparedness and recommend the establishment of mobile fire units, regional fire stations, and aerial firefighting support. (4) Implement fire prevention and emergency response training for local communities and conservancy rangers. (5) Propose legislative measures to improve wildfire response, inter-agency coordination, and disaster mitigation strategies. I thank you."
