    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The specificity of the location and place for this Statement is very critical. This is from Lamu County within the coast region. I support Sen. Loitiptip for bringing this Statement. Flooding might occur in different regions but there are effects and repercussions, based on the county Gross Domestic Product (GDP), response and familiarity with such disasters. As Sen. Khaniri has said, there are certain regions where over the years we hear the same problem recurring. In others, the specificity especially for Lamu County puts it into specific context. As we know, most of the people in Lamu rely on the ocean for their living, fish and most of their economic activities. The level of income generation is not very high. The understanding that even the floods can occur in Lamu might not be very familiar to many people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this specificity adds value to the previous Statement that had been raised by Sen. Outa. If all these Statements could be combined, then it is important to expand the macro-approach. By Sen. Loitiptip bringing this into focus, it means Lamu County, therefore, contextualizes itself into that discussion and discourse of how this can be solved. As Sen. Khaniri said, I add that even with the proposed National Disaster Management Authority Bill, it has not seen the light of day. We need to get to a point where we can even pre-empt these floods and various disasters and be preventative rather than reactive to them."
