"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama for bringing this Motion which is key. Right now, Kenyans are suffering because of floods and lots of water. Bridges have been washed, roads have been destroyed, homes have been flooded and people are drowning. It is real suffering for Kenyans. The current administration must learn to care for Kenyans. If funds have been set aside to address this issue, the money should not be diverted. The funds should not be taken elsewhere, but instead used for the proper purpose the money was set aside for. The Senator for Machakos County has counted areas affected by floods. I would say the effect of flooding is being felt all over the country. Just a few days ago, I stood in this House to seek a Statement on the completion of Ensiu River Bridge that has not been attended to yet the Government had committed to complete the bridge since 2021 after a tragic incident that happened. It is so disheartening to watch in the news every time people in Nyando, Budalang’i and other places crying because they have no houses and food. In Baringo, people are crying. They have moved from their homes and are now living in tents, yet they are in this independent country called Kenya. Proper mechanisms must be put in place to ensure that we are prepared. Why is it that in Kenya, we do not learn? Mistakes are repeated. The last time we had floods, people suffered the same. The Government promised to do something to save Kenyans, but nothing has been done since. We are crying during these long rains and Kenyans are suffering. I bet that next year and next year but one, floods will come and people will suffer. Why do we, as a country, not learn and the Government does not take decisive measures to ensure that the issue of floods and drought is addressed once and for all?"
