    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very important piece of legislation. I just hope that it will not be in vain but we will see classes for students on disaster management. I want to give you a very painful example. My Constituency has Pwani University. They will have their graduation tomorrow. I congratulate them on their graduation. This university loses 10 students every year through drowning in the Indian Ocean. This is because the fresher’s who come to the university come from places where there is no ocean. They get excited about it. During the first week, they go out to the Ocean even when there are signs all over to show that it is dangerous to go there if you do not know how to swim. These students get in the Ocean because of that excitement of joining the university. After two days, you hear that they are looking for a student who disappeared. After one day, they say that a body was discovered in the Ocean. They lose 10 students every year. This is because they have not been equipped on how to handle disaster at the ocean. We lose students. If these students are taught that when they are in the ocean and this happens to you, then this is how you react, then we would save lives. This is something that is practical. It is needed not only at the high school or primary school but also it should be a course at the university to equip students to handle disasters. Every time, we go out there to look for a body of a university student who does not know how to swim but he attempted to do it."
