"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Bill because it is important. We should have done it yesterday. I commend the two Senators who thought about it. As much as we know about these things and we talk about them, nobody has thought of putting it together, giving it a structure and an authority which is responsible so that whenever such a disaster occurs, we know how to handle it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important to carry out civic education on risk management, because most of our people are still very ignorant about many things, including those things you think are a given. They may be a given to you, but when you look at people in the rural, they struggle with very small things. We must, therefore, educate our people at every level and aspect of life so that they know. Sometimes there is help next-door, but the people are not even aware. Civic education is important for our people to know, because we represent women, children, people with disabilities and the whole nation. We support life and we represent people’s lives and, at the same time, their properties. If you are left there and the property is gone, it is a hustle to start life over again. Similarly, if you lose your life and the property is there, there is a problem. So, at whatever level, we want to make sure that Kenya is run well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the people who are charged with the responsibility of running this nation that it is not very difficult to run a nation, unless we are not serious with our calling. If you are called to be a leader and you have been given a responsibility to take care of Kenya, please take care of this nation. Kenya is just a small state in Africa and we cannot compare it to the United States of America (USA). I know that you will say that the USA is a first world country and Kenya is a developing one. Yes, but they also started somewhere; they built their structures and they are working up to now. Therefore, even in Kenya, we should start to put up structures in place today so that the people who will come after us will find a better life. That better life can start with one step today. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Bill and I hope that it will not encounter a lot of problems in the National Assembly, because it is an important Bill for each and every one of us. It should be passed and implemented properly. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
