    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am first giving the context that will determine how long it will take to give us an answer so that Members can understand when I say it will take three or four weeks. The first area that I have touched on is the reason why we will also need to interact in looking at this matter with other Committees, that is, the Standing Committees on Energy and Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. So, I am doing the context to that. Allow me to proceed. I am not giving the answer; I am just giving that context to that. There is a question on where the equipment is being placed by Sen. Olekina. That is important to understand, but he is specific to Nairobi County. That means that we are forwarding a question not just to the Ministry that deals with the disaster response, but also to Nairobi County government. We are also forwarding the question to the Standing Committees on Energy and Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. There is also the issue of the National Disaster Management liaising with the county; are they present in other counties? Another issue is on arson from Sen. Wetangula. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, all in all, we need some bit of time to deal with the issue comprehensively. We will give a response based on the questions asked which I am sure will be unsatisfactory if it comes in a short time. This is because Sen. Kwamboka has asked for five years of records. In Nairobi, in five weeks, we will have a hard time to talk about the number of fires that we have every fortnight. I am sure that we will not get a response on a record of five years in terms of victims, compensation and the number of fires in this county. It might take more than a month to get that response. But I will try to persuade the good Senator to reduce the period under review from five years to since this county government took over; that is from August. We should look at that and get a response in the next three or so weeks. After that, we will sit down with the other Committees involved so that we can bring an end to the issue of fires in the county. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I ask for three weeks and a review of the period in question from five years to about five or six months."
