    "content": "exposing the fragility of our urban disaster preparedness and response, calling for elaborate interventions. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to apprise the House on the following: 1. A comprehensive report on the cause of the fire incident in Makina area, Kibera, including the details of the affected people and the findings on the systematic failures of the recurrent fire tragedies in the informal settlements. 2. The support, if any, extended by the Ministry to the survivors of the tragedy, including provisions of shelter, food, clothing, emergency treatment, and trauma counselling, including sending off of their beloved ones. 3. The steps being taken by the Ministry to expedite the release of DNA results for the victims of the fire tragedy to spare the families of the deceased from prolonged emotional distress and enable them to lay their deceased kin to rest. 4. The measures that the Ministry intends to put in place to prevent similar tragedies in the informal settlements in the future, particularly in terms of safety, community awareness, disaster response, and urban planning. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the families have been living here for more than three weeks. The Government Chemist indicates that they need 30 days to give the DNA tests. This means they will have to stay here for a whole month before they can put their beloved ones to rest. Based on this, I wish we treat this as an urgent matter. Thank you."
