    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to oppose. Just as I said in plenary, I tend to think that the National Drought Management Authority is a function of the national Government, although we know that disasters normally affect both governments. We also agree that these are matters which happen in counties. We also have issues to do with security and we have never amalgamated the security of counties with that of the national Government. In a situation where there is a security matter, we sit together and discuss how to curb it, but the question of management of security lies with the national Government as provided for by the Constitution. Instead of including members of county governments, it should be the obligation of the Senate to create an authority at the county governments level, which will look at matters of disasters. When there is a disaster to be managed, that is when the national authority and the county authority can have one meeting and pool their resources together to deal with the matter. On this one, we are mixing issues which, maybe, the Constitution does not provide for. I oppose."
