"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill, the National Disaster Risk Management Bill. There is a problem in Kenya. Whenever we are faced with a disaster, the coordination of the response to it is disjointed. In most cases, we are reactive and not proactive. Therefore, I support that we establish the Intergovernmental Council on Risk Management and the National Disaster Risk Management Authority at both the national level of Government and the county level of government. In most cases, county governments do not know what the national Government is doing and the national Government does not know what the county governments are doing. In the past, many disasters have been witnessed in Kenya. Some of them happen and nothing is done in terms of response. For example, when we were attacked by terrorists at the West Gate Mall, the coordination was not well done and there was a lot of hue and cry. If we will have a standing Committee that is prepared to deal with disaster on a daily basis, in my view, the country will be moving in the right direction. As we gather in this House, the gate of Parliament is closed by medics because of a problem. I consider that a disaster because many Kenyans are dying in hospitals because of lack of doctors. An Authority like this one that has been proposed in the Bill prepares for such kind of cases. In fact, it will come in handy to deal with cases of disasters. What is happening in our hospitals now is a disaster. Hon. Speaker, the other day we witnessed El Niño rains all over Kenya which led to destruction of many roads. There has been no interventions in repairing them. Some of them are trunk roads while others are feeder roads. In a similar situation, when we have this kind of Authority and apex coordination committee, it will deal with disconnected roads all over the country whenever such kind of emergencies happen. We are also witnessing an increased level of road carnage. Such a situation can be addressed by such an Authority that deals with emergencies of road carnage."

Such an Authority will prepare itself to deal with those emergencies. Therefore, Hon. Speaker, I support this Bill on behalf of the people of Mwingi, where I come from. We should establish this Disaster Risk Management Committee and Authority to deal with disasters in Kenya."
