    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I must thank Hon. Keter for coming up with this Adjournment Motion. It is true that parts of our shared constituency are under water. The concern is about mitigation. We have seen these cycles for the last 100 years. The issue is about documentation and anticipation on how to best deal with it. Within every Budget, we should leave a certain percentage to deal with emergencies. What we are not defining is how to deal with the disaster as and when it kicks in. I would like to implore on the State Department for Special Programmes to step up. As we move forward, we should come up with mechanisms which deal with what is critical. Is it infrastructure in terms of roads or insecurity which should come first? We should pursue this as matter of urgency that as we have taken leave to discuss this issue, we should simply say that even NG-CDF can respond and partner with State Department for Special Programmes. That would be immediate and right across the board, so that all the Members are able to bring their proposals which will be acted upon by the Government. As we move forward, we need to propose as a House and within the committee of NG-CDF that State Department for Special Programmes immediately disburses funds that address what has just happened within the Republic. Without further ado, I would like to allow other Members to contribute to this important Motion. That is where I will leave it. Thank you."
