• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. I support the amendment Bill. view
• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Drought is one of the most devastating disasters in terms of the impact it has on the economy. It affects all productive sectors and service sectors. Drought is not restricted to the ASAL areas. We know that the 22 ASAL counties are most vulnerable in terms of the severity and frequency of droughts which we experience in the country. But that does not necessarily mean that other counties, especially those which have small pockets of semi-arid locations, are not affected by drought. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: This amendment Bill is very important. Those of us from ASAL counties, especially I who has been a practitioner in disaster and risk management with specialisation in drought management, know that it is important for us to appreciate that our country is the most advanced in the region when it comes to monitoring of drought.

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: up a very elaborate and reliable drought monitoring system. Decisions in allocating resources for disaster or drought response are normally guided by an early warning system which is run by the National Drought Management Authority. The principal Act which was passed in 2016 courtesy of one Hon. Chachu is the first one that helped us to create a law to co-ordinate drought monitoring and response. However, as a country, we have not been able to operationalise the National Drought Management Fund because of the conflict between National Drought Management Act and the Public Finance Management Act. Therefore, the proposed amendment ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: It is important for us to appreciate that when there is drought, the response will be based on credible information generated by our national drought monitoring system. In terms of what needs to be done, where it should be done and the intervention in various sectors, there are clear guidelines. What we only need the Ministry of Devolution to do is to come up with regulations in terms of how the fund is going to be managed but I would like to assure this House that as a country, we have a very elaborate, reliable and credible system of monitoring ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: As we speak, all the counties which are classified as ASALs are experiencing drought. Unfortunately, when we experience drought right now, we are forced to do a supplementary budget to respond to needs of the affected population. Once this fund is operationalised, it will help us avoid a situation where we divert monies meant for development to respond to drought. Actually, a good practice in drought management is to have contingency funds set aside with clear guidelines so that as and when the situation requires emergency response in different sectors, those funds are used rather than reallocating monies meant for ... view
