    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Bill. I will start by persuading the proposers of the Bill to seriously consider moving an amendment at the Committee Stage to include using of the highly trained NYS graduates in disaster management. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am a graduate of the NYS because I went there for pre-university training before joining the university. I can confirm that the young people trained at the NYS are well-disciplined. The country has come of age where we need to have firefighters like the ones we see in other developed countries. In terms of disaster management, I believe there can never be better people to be on the frontline than the firefighters who are well-trained. We have had issues with the NYS and also had many graduates coming out of NYS. We need to ask NYS to specifically train fire-fighters in disaster management with the best practices that happen everywhere in the developed world so that they will be the in the frontline in addressing issues of risk management. We have 47 counties. I would therefore, propose that we can have graduates of the NYS who have been trained in fire- fighting attached to the 47 counties. We will be having a stand by team whose duty will be to address issues of disaster management. One of the most recurrent disasters of our time is fire. These officers who are trained in fire-fighting can rescue people who are trapped in a fire and landslides. I propose that we second graduates from the NYS to the counties to be on standby as the first line of call for disaster risk management. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
