Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has raised concerns over the qualifications of the county’s emergency response team, expressing disappointment at what he perceives as a mismatch between their academic credentials and the roles they are assigned. Sifuna’s remarks come amidst growing scrutiny of the effectiveness of Nairobi’s disaster management efforts, particularly in light of recent incidents that have tested the city’s emergency response capabilities.

Edwin Sifuna questions Nairobi’s Emergency Response Team

Speaking during the burial of a Narok MCA, Senator Sifuna highlighted the critical importance of having well-qualified personnel in key positions within the disaster management apparatus. He emphasized that the current composition of the team does not reflect the expertise necessary to handle the diverse challenges faced by Nairobi, including fire incidents and rescue operations.

According to Sifuna, his investigation into the qualifications of the emergency response team revealed glaring inconsistencies. For instance, he discovered that the principal disaster management officer holds a degree in public relations, while the principal fire officer has a master’s degree in theology. Similarly, the chief fire officer’s background is in library studies, and the senior disaster management officer’s qualification is in tours and travel.

In my quest to understand where exactly the problem is with disaster response in Nairobi, be it fire incidents or rescue I’m learning that there is serious mismatch of qualifications and roles hindering those qualified from actually performing their duties.

Sample this;…

The senator questioned the logic behind these appointments, expressing doubt about the ability of individuals with such diverse academic backgrounds to effectively fulfill their roles in disaster management. He suggested that this mismatch of qualifications may be hindering the performance of qualified personnel who are better suited for the responsibilities at hand.

“In my quest to understand where exactly the problem is with disaster response in Nairobi, be it fire incidents or rescue, I’m learning that there is a serious mismatch of qualifications and roles hindering those qualified from actually performing their duties,” remarked Sifuna.

The senator’s comments have reignited discussions about the importance of competency-based appointments in critical government positions, particularly those related to disaster management and public safety. Many are calling for a review of the qualification requirements for such roles to ensure that individuals with the necessary expertise and experience are entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the lives and property of Nairobi residents.
