    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. The spirit of this Motion is very important. However, its drafting which was done by my colleague, who is a legal expert, leaves a lot to be desired. There is no way you can condemn a government for natural disasters. There is no way you can say a government is negligent for natural disasters. What we need to say is that we must leave politics out of serious issues like floods and earthquakes. We must address issues as nationalists. We should not isolate areas. We should come up with an appropriate policy to address natural disasters, because that is very important. For example, the issue of Budalangi has always been there. It is a national disaster, to which the Government should have responded a long time ago if a policy was in place. It is not only the people of Budalangi who are suffering. As I speak, the people of Mandera are suffering. There is no way the Government can compensate anybody for losses incurred as a result of a natural disaster. We can only compensate anybody after the Government fails to deliver services to wananchi . We must talk as nationalists. We should leave politics---"
