    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government, in its preparedness--- I think the National Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC), which is stationed at the Office of the President, is the one which puts up all the teams; the armed forces, senior police officers, medical teams and water engineers. That is how our Government has been able to combat the problems. Like I have mentioned, the RDMCE is supposed to be the one dealing with those issues. The Government saw the importance of dealing with other member states so that we can have such problems solved as early as possible. I agree with him that, in most of the situations, we have had people coming from different countries to assist us. That is why the Government took a bold step to establish a regional disaster management centre. That particular centre got its initial funding from the US Central Command. That happened because the Government realised that we needed to have a early warning system and the necessary personnel to help us. We have the personnel but we lack the equipment. However, in the process of having the RDMCE, all those things are going to be catered for. The US Central Command will give way to the African Command, which will take over from there. The Government has been following the footsteps of what is happening and we are at the forefront."
