@GideonMungaroM @KenyaGovernors @InteriorKE Exactly a year on, what do we have to report ? Are fires being fought more professionally ? Is the County better of, or just the same old joke ? @Jasiri_9line @ArapWalta @mmunga_ @MwanyikaMathayo @RasnaWarah @mtalaki @MtaitaMkauma

Yes, we are requesting feedback on Kilifi's largest division that of Operations, which is responsible for emergency medical services, fire suppression, mitigation of disasters & rescue activities. Operations spread across all subcounties & stations they contain. @VictorMwambacha

@LawSocietyofKe As you await the court ordered @InteriorKE report on prep'dness. Here is a connected therein key aspect of Critical Infrastructure needing immediate legal attention @AGOfficeKenya @KindikiKithure. @KenyaGovernors @LegalEzra @mtalaki @Kenfiba @NDOCKenya @oloojl



Supporting hundreds of skilled personnel with physical & technical resources, the Emergency Services Sector helps save lives, protect property, the environment, assist in prep'dness, prevention & recovery efforts. @ParassisO @Pmwanyosh @mmunga_ @OMakonjio

@Kenyajudiciary @AGOfficeKenya @ODPP_KE @HonJBMuturi @SenCommitteeKE @LawSocietyofKe A waste of time if you ask me. How do they come up with a report, when we don't even have a designated Apex body for DRM @WilliamaRuto ? @LegalEzra @slmiheso @mtalaki
nation.africa/kenya/news/cou… @Kenyajudiciary @AGOfficeKenya @ODPP_KE @HonJBMuturi @SenCommitteeKE @LawSocietyofKe @LegalEzra @slmiheso @mtalaki An Apex body as the national agency responsible for leadership & guidance across the DRM continuum drives a number of frameworks, strategies to support targeted and effective recovery from disasters & to ensure better prepared &more resilient communities across Kenya.

@LawSocietyofKe As the people's voice in the Lack of Prep'dness Case against GoK,before Court in Nakuru. What we need is a system,procedural arrangements & an apex body to implement them to their letter. @LegalEzra @mtalaki @Jasiri_9line @mmunga_ @Acetineo
the-star.co.ke/news/infograph… We join you in prayer, within which those of @AGOfficeKenya @Kenyajudiciary @ODPP_KE who may enjoin as "Amici Curiae." Be identified as stakeholders too. As such duty bound to ensure fulfilment of all measures provisional or otherwise as prescribed by court. @VictorMwambacha

After the flooding, comes food shortages & hunger mess. But, again we know what to expect @WilliamsRuto
@InteriorKe @kilimoKE @Kindikikithure @mithika_Linturi, with the deliberate lack, of an apex body for Disaster Risk Mgmt. Policies & Guidelines, let alone National Prep'dness ?

The deliberate lack of an the apex body for Disaster Risk Mgmt in Kenya, & don't abuse our intelligence in pretending @NDOCKenya or @NDMU_Kenya are, or would have assisted in preparing & putting in place National Flood Mgmt plans.
@ParassisO

Without an operationalized
National Plant Health Policy, with a cross-sectoral approach @WilliamsRuto @mithika_Linturi @kilimoKE @SenCommitteeKE @KephisKe ? @Jasiri_9line @WaNduta8 @slmiheso @mmunga_ @gatwiri_c @kinjeketile @koechnellychep @VictorMwambacha
the-star.co.ke/opinion/column… The overall goal of which being to establish a coordinated, sustainable & international compliant plant health system that ensures plant health, consumer protection, environmental health & food safety ?

The buck stops with @WilliamsRuto, the problem is, with the monies involved. Would he be bothered to alter anything & tilt the Status Quo, annoying those that thrive in the chaos ? @Jasiri_9line @Acetineo @ayogo_do @mmunga_ @oloojl @kinjeketile @slmiheso
the-star.co.ke/siasa/2024-05-… In the last few decades, the cost of disaster has increased significantly in the world including Kenya. Therefore, in order to reduce vulnerabilities and risks of hazards, more strategic and systematic efforts are needed at global and national levels. @InteriorKE @KindikiKithure

Fact: Improving DRM, Response & preparedness requires increased & sustained resilience of vulnerable communities to hazards through diversification of measures & coping strategies. Stop lying with camouflaged targeted demolitions @WilliamsRuto. @mtalaki
nation.africa/kenya/videos/s… The National government is ultimately responsible for disaster management, all citizens are responsible for taking measures to protect their own lives & property.
Demolitions have nothing to do with it.

@WilliamsRuto @InteriorKE @KindikiKithure @rigathi @USAIDKenya @NDOCKenya @NDMU_Kenya
Monetary help, No thanks ! We all know where most of it ends up. How about building a DRM system integrating sanity into the deliberate mad house Kenya is ? @mtalaki
the-star.co.ke/news/2024-05-1… The challenges affecting Disaster Risk Management-DRM in Kenya are simply-:
1. Strategic,
2. Operational,
3. Institutional &
4. Funding.
With the strategic risks based, being the ones ths can adversely affect the future shape & form of DRM devolution in Kenya. @mtalaki

@WilliamsRuto For a Government that is sadistic enough to get kicks from sympathies. Would you really be bothered to do the required right things & miss the tickles ? @Jasiri_9line @FarmersAfric @mtalaki @africaupdates @WaNduta8 @slmiheso @MtaitaMkauma
the-star.co.ke/opinion/column… National response to disaster risks in Kenya has been reactive and remains short- term due to deficiencies in Policies, legal and institutional arrangements, inadequate investments in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).

@AzimioTv @TheODMparty I find it funny, you lot think 10K is too little for flood assistance, but, the likes of @RailaOdinga @skmusyoka @EugeneLWamalwa @MarthaKarua say nothing of the latent systemic DRM failures which you were part of whilst in Govt. HYPOCRITES ! Whilst serving in your various positions in the previous regimes. Did none of you ever hear of State Disaster Preparedness ?
Or see need to use your position to propagate for the provisions to enable policies to plan and prepare for disasters and emergencies ?

@WilliamsRuto @InteriorKE @KindikiKithure @MusaliaMudavadi @Senate_KE @SenCommitteeKE @KenyaGovernors @NDOCKenya Real honor for the dearly departed will be a DRM System not some con of my tax, wasting public holiday.

In DRM terms, capacity building- is the process of developing technical skills, institutional capability to effectively reduce disaster risk & build disaster resilience.
How is Nairobi Senator @edwinsifuna & his tribal mole in Nairobi Fire helping attain it @SakajaJohnson ?



When disaster strikes, coming together to support impacted communities not only helps with their recovery – it can set them on the path to a more resilient, sustainable future.

@AfDB_Group @WilliamsRuto @DavidNdii Transformation & Reform of Financial Architecture, on quick sand ? How safe is it without addressing it's biggest threat, that of poor Disaster Risk Mgmt ? @IanECox @Jasiri_9line @slmiheso @BennonMaina @RasnaWarah

kenyans.co.ke/news/100466-af… The African Development Bank supposedly recognizes the implications of climate change impacts on its poverty reduction and sustainable development mandate, and in particular the vulnerability of several African countries to disaster risks.

@Senate_KE @SenCommitteeKE @edwinsifuna @gabrieloguda @simiyu_bramwell The malicious ambush & intentions aside. Kindly enlighten Kenyans on the comparative National qualification standards you are using to guage NFRS ? @IanECox @slmiheso @mtalaki @KweePeace

https://twitter.com/gabrieloguda/status/1787538287361470947

It is not only unfair, but a waste of time & man hours for @SenCommitteeKE to be used as a Kangaroo court for whatever intentions @edwinsifuna has for NFRS.
For starters what comparative National Qualification Standards are there in Kenya ?

@WilliamsRuto What's with you & short term solutions for long term problems ? What we need is arrangements, for the comprehensive approach to Emergency Mgmt- Prevention, Prep'dness, Response & Recovery (PPRR). @IanECox @mtalaki @WaNduta8 @slmiheso @alaminkimathi

Arrangements that support emergency management in Kenya, through the concepts of an 'all hazards' approach & 'shared responsibility'. @ParassisO @Acetineo @oloojl @PaulKoigi @FauzKhalid @Kenyajudiciary @bintikombo @mmunga_ @punda_amechoka @safariwithselle @simiyu_bramwell

@AGOfficeKenya @Senate_KE @NAssemblyKE @HonWetangula @NACommitteeKE @KenyaGovernors @LawSocietyofKe @SenCommitteeKE
On what premise is this, when @WilliamsRuto is too stubborn & proud to declare it ? @NelsonHavi @EAukot @OkiyaOmtatah @safariwithselle
nation.africa/kenya/news/-st… A Disaster Declaration is a formal statement by a jurisdiction that a disaster or emergency exceeds the response and/or recovery capabilities.
Although a declaration is commonly addressed after a disaster, a declaration may be made if a disaster is found to be imminent.

Could it all the @WilliamsRuto shenanigans be deliberate to attract, @WorldBank Disaster Risk Mgmt Development Policy Loan with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option, 15 years maturity, including 3 years of grace period ? @Jasiri_9line @mtalaki @IanECox
kenyans.co.ke/news/100374-un… WB instrument offers immediate liquidity in case of an adverse natural event.
The Millions are supposedly a development policy loan, that enhances a Country’s capacity to implement its Disaster Risk Management Program for natural disasters.

All these underlines is what the Swahili say, "Ukimuona mwenzio iwanyolewa na chako (Kichwa) kitie maji. Lesson being learn & prepare, you could be next !
newtimes.co.rw/article/16469/… As a DRM practitioner. I can categorically state that. Risk is influenced by the decisions we make. From climate change to poor urban planning, it is critical to understand & address risk drivers to curb disaster risk. Something we continue to ignore in Kenya. @slmiheso @mtalaki

Yes, the high-impact weather in the second half of April underlines yet again the vulnerability of Kenyan society to weather, water, climate-related hazards & the need for Early Warnings For All. But are we not forgetting a very important fact ?

standardmedia.co.ke/national/artic… The waning El Niño event, alongside a phenomenon known as the Indian Ocean Dipole, is playing a role, notably in the floods in East Africa, drought in Southern Africa & high temperatures in South East Asia. @IanECox @mmunga_ @Jasiri_9line @mtalaki @oloojl @MtaitaMkauma @OMakonjio

A pretender only interested on what is in it for him. @WilliamsRuto deserved a benefit of the doubt, until he played the hand dealt. He is just a profiteer from the chaos ! @mtalaki @slmiheso @Txxaddi @IanECox @Jasiri_9line @MtaitaMkauma @VictorMwambacha
standardmedia.co.ke/national/artic… This is a chance to improve the 6 decades of rot in National Emergency Management Arrangements, bring together the efforts of all governments, private & volunteer agencies to deliver coordinated emergency management across all hazards.
