    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be very bad for a country to make unfounded allegations against another country. I am the one who attends the meetings of the Council of Ministers on the Lake Victoria Basin Initiative. I want to assure you that we all agree on any water released to River Nile. We have a secretariat that is stationed at Entebbe and our participation is there. Representatives come from all the countries and, therefore, we cannot accuse Uganda of having done anything or being compromised by Egypt. That is not the position and it would be unfortunate to say so. As the Government, I would like to inform this House that Uganda has never entered into any secret meeting or agreement with the Egyptians. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a comprehensive Statement was issued on the question of protection of the Mau by the Prime Minister on how we are going to conserve that region, having in mind that 51 per cent of our water resources which is Kshs11 billion comes from the Lake Victoria Basin. Therefore, it would be very unfortunate if the Government will not take necessary action to save the Lake Basin Region."
