    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for making comparative analysis. However, I want to assure the hon. Member that, yes, what they have done in Uganda, in fact, we have done better here. The disaster management team is in the Office of the Prime Minister. All the Ministries the hon. Member has mentioned, for example, the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development, the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security are all represented on that team. There is an officer who does the co-ordination of all these Ministries. That is why you will see that whenever there is a disaster these Ministries move together. You will find the Ministry of Medical Services officials there; you will find the Ministry of Local Government officials present; you will find the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports officials there and you will find the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security officials there and so on. We have District Disaster Management Committees. So, that is how far we have gone. It is not just at the national level but it is cascaded down the system up to the village level."
