    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying that I rise to support the Motion by hon. Tiya Galgalo about the establishment of a Disaster Preparedness Authority. If I would use my constituency as a case study, we do not have serious cases of floods. But most of the time, we have strong uncontrollable water. In the last rainy season, we had to use in excess of Kshs20 million to undertake repairs. I would like to say that, that kind of authority is seriously welcomed. It should be welcomed not only in Isiolo, but other areas in Kenya that experience serious floods. When those floods occur, we get serious wastages in terms of food and serious disruptions in terms of security. That kind of authority will come in handy to ensure that those kinds of disruptions and wastages are prevented. The country and the counties will all be able to prepare for those kinds of disasters and stop the wastage of water."
