"content": "Bill comes to the House, we should amend it to become the Disaster Management Authority Bill, so that it can handle droughts, fires, flooding and other disasters. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, disaster management should be part of our lives. Disaster risk reduction should even be included in the school curriculum, so that future citizens of this country can internalise issues of disaster, including disaster risk reduction, preparedness, management and intervention in disasters as well as reducing susceptibility and proneness to disasters. As much as disaster management is a national Government function, the county governments should also factor some money for disaster risk reduction and disaster management in their budgets. We know that the budget for disaster management at the national level is very small. I remember that it was only Kshs5 billion. This amount cannot handle all the disasters in the country. Therefore, county governments should factor in some money for disaster management, disaster risk reduction and preparedness in their budgets. With those remarks, I beg to support."
