    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Statement. It is really unfortunate that in the 21st Century, this country is not prepared for disaster especially as a result of floods and drought. We are losing many people and roads and animals are being swept away. Where are we heading as a country? We cannot be entertaining this year-in, year-out. This morning, I spoke to the CS for Devolution and ASAL Areas. The way they are preparing to counter rain disasters is not realistic. They met today to discuss how to intervene. Something needs to be done. This should be the last time to sing about disaster in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee should critically look into it and also summon the CS for Devolution and ASAL Areas, so that they give a report on how they will handle issues of current intervention measures in terms of emergencies. The Government spends a lot of money both at the county and national level but we do not know where that money goes. The money does not reach the real people who are affected in this country. I request the Committee to summon the CS so that they give a strategy in terms of intervention on what is happening in our counties."
