    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement. We are fully aware that rains are almost there throughout. Throughout the year, there is a rainy season and floods occur all the time. There is need for us, Kenyans, to ensure that we prepare for disasters like floods. Sometimes floods come with negative effects. There are times when houses are destroyed because of floods. Sometimes drivers are unable to drive safely on the roads. As a result, quite a number of people lose their lives. As a nation, there is need for us to ensure that we come up with mechanisms and ensure that we are prepared to manage disasters. When disaster comes, first of all, it is usually a shock. For instance, there have been floods and quite a number of people have died. We have to speak about the shock and how to prevent it. It is better we prevent disaster that result to lose of lives, for example, as a result of floods rather than losing lives and looking for mechanisms of how to resolve. As I support this Statement, the Committee that will deal with it should ensure mechanisms are put in place in all counties so that we do not lose more lives as a result of floods."
