    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Bill. As indicated, we want to have an Act of Parliament establishing the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). Sen. G.G. Kariuki clearly said that there has been established so many authorities in Kenya to the extent that when the new Jubilee Government came into power two years ago, it reviewed the 240 authorities bringing them back to around 180. This means there has been a reduction on some of them. The functions we are trying to assign to this new NDMA at the national level have always been carried out by some authorities that I do not know whether they are still there or they were closed. Along the Tana River, to utilize the water in order to mitigate drought in that region, there existed the Tana River Development Authority (TARDA). For waters around Lake Victoria, we have had the Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA). In The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
