    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not wait and watch in the news ordinary and helpless Kenyans saying: “Tunaomba Serikali”, all the time. We want a situation where those Kenyans will be saying: “Tunapongeza Serikali” for having foreseen, planned and dealt with those disasters as they occur. Many times, we have the information we require to make those responses. We have invested a lot of money and resources in agencies like the Meteorological Department and they give us a lot of information all the time. So, some of those things do not just come all over a sudden. It is just that we ignore. For example, when this Motion was being prepared, there were floods in that county, but now, there is drought. So, we are sure that there will be drought to be followed by rains and floods year in, year out. We cannot be operating like that. We may not have the capacity and the technology, but we can share what other people are doing. Countries like Netherlands, for example, are even below the sea level, but I have never heard that they have been swept away by floods. It is because they manage the water. They are able to manage the various weather conditions. We can also be able to do it here."
