    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support this Petition. I have a personal experience where the effect of KenGen causes disastrous damages. A good example is that when the Masinga Dam and those other dams are full, they release a lot of water downstream from Garissa up to the Tana Delta. All the farms are flooded, families are displaced and some houses are water logged once or twice every year. The destruction is just too much and nobody is there to compensate those families. They do their farming and establish their perennial crops. All over a sudden, this water comes and washes everything away. Their families become destitute. In some places, they become refugees and then after a while, they come back again to do the same thing. I think legislation has to be put in place so that such families are given notices and also they are compensated. Thank you."
