    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue raised by hon. Mungatana. I do not know whether he feels very strongly about that particular point, but ultimately, the key thing that we need to recognise is that all emergencies are national emergencies. So, whether there is an emergency in Turkana or Tana River, it does not matter. The counties will have their own funds, but that emergency is also going to be catered for just as it happens currently under the National Fund. Maybe, what we can do is to work through the regulations, so that we can establish the link between how county governments will relate to the national Government in terms of dealing with emergencies. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the same breath, I would suggest that even the issue relating to involvement of the various agencies can be spelt out in regulations, because ultimately it is the Cabinet Secretary who will--- The Cabinet Secretary himself must consult with the Cabinet. Maybe in the regulations, we can say how they will relate with other emergency-related organizations and reach the stage of declaring a national emergency. There was the question raised by my new colleague in the Cabinet. Maybe, I need to understand her a little better before we make a recommendation. I think what she was talking about is already catered for. If not, we shall look at it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the corrections, we recognized those as errors by the Attorney-General’s Chambers. They will be in the Order Paper tomorrow for amendment during the Committee Stage. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
