    "content": "will have a lot of diseases coming up, especially given that there is too much flooding. The county government, given that health function is also devolved, must come up and ensure that we do not have diseases affecting the people as a result of the flooding and the congestion that we must be experiencing. I want to talk about floods that are related to the landslide. I come from an area where we are also experiencing a lot of flooding and some disaster or dangers from flooding. I am talking about areas like Usoma in Kisumu West Sub-county and Kapuothe in Kisumu Central Sub- county where people have gone through untold suffering because of floods. They have lost their houses, belongings and have had to move to camps in schools and churches. This just calls on attention and preparedness and taking the work of the Meteorological Department seriously. Indeed, we do not take it seriously when they forecast on the weather. Otherwise, we would be showing a bit of preparedness in calamities such as these. Even if we cannot stop them, we can at least curb such negative or strong impacts. I thank the Kenya Red Cross because in many areas and many counties, it seems to be doing the work the counties are supposed to do. During calamities like this, the Kenya Red Cross seems to be coming up as the saviour of the people. I thank them. In doing so, I also want to thank the national Government for what it has done. I have heard a few say that they are thanking the Deputy President directly, as an individual. I would like to remind this House that the Deputy President, in doing what he was doing, happens to be the Deputy President of this country. So, we see the Government as offering a hand when he offers a hand. Once again, I thank the owner of this Motion. Once again, my heart goes out to the affected people."
