    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to thank all the Senators who have made their contribution to this Motion starting from those who spoke yesterday, my seconder Sen. Abshiro Halake, Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Pareno, Sen. (Dr.) Langat and those to whom I have donated time to today. There is no doubt in my mind that we have all spoken with one voice. We have underscored the importance of the KRCS. We all appreciate them and agree that they are always the first respondent on the scenes of calamities and, therefore, the need for them to be incorporated into our national budget. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the ideas that have come on the Floor of the House have enriched my thoughts on this matter. I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. As I said yesterday when I was moving this Motion, we had intended to bring a Bill, together with Sen. Abshiro, on the same so that we can create a legal framework. However, talking to some legal minds here like Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., they say that instead of a new Bill, we could as well amend Cap.256 that created the KRCS to make sure that we have this provision. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I promise the House that we will move with speed to ensure that this is done so that we move away from the reactionary culture of responding to calamities to coming up with a proactive strategy to combat disaster and calamities. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
