@StateHouseKenya To me, it is time for a Hybrid Governance perspective in redressing our pathetic Disaster Mgmt prowess. But will you listen ? Thread @RasnaWarah @BasilioCC @alaminkimathi @mlimakenya @YussufMwinyi @ajfactual52 @chothep @SimbaTirima @johnnjenga @Hitlerlaw2

Hybrid Gov'nance refers to situations where state & non-state actors collectively provide key services. It is often the norm rather than exception for Disaster Mgmt, particularly in cases like ours, where State is weak, often unable & or unwilling to provide essential services.

It is time, risks are addressed by all, be it the State & non-state entities, from citizens, CBO's, NGO's to customary Authorities. Their importance, castigates the Govt joke of attempting to bring such under the remit of State, as it creates disruption rather than reduce risk.

It is an open secret that Disaster Mgmt albeit being used by the sitting Govt & the would be Opposition the ODM Party in their manifestos. All thei were, are & still remain. Is ideas on paper meant to con their way into Gov'nance. It is time Kenyans woke up from their slumber.

Jubilee is nothing short of a lip-service & doom peddling Govt, one that is sadistic to boot & that thrives in chaos ! Correct me if I am wrong, but, is there no gap in the sector deliberately created by @FredMatiangi in killing the NDOC albeit a limping agency ? @Anon1KENYA

That limping agency, though a half-way house, for burnt out Military ex-colleagues of mine. Encompassed policies & actions to help prevent, mitigate, respond, & recovery from disasters. Was involved coordination of entities at the local, national, & international levels. Now ?

Along with helping entities establish content knowledge of this increasingly important area, the NDOC, during Col. (Rtd) Shem Amadi's tenure helped build skill sets for analyzing complex systems,especially as they related to catastrophic events & their paradigm shifts.

With our myriad of disasters in waiting, isn't it time we started addressing Disaster Mgmt, with the seriousness it deserves ?
Btw..what came of the DRM Bill 2019 as sponsored by @SakajaJohnson & @SenMutula ? @threadreaderapp unroll
