    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion on Effects of Upstream Activities on River Tana, by Sen. Mungatana, MGH. I acknowledge and appreciate the economic activities in Tana River County that is farming and fishing. These are activities highly in need of water. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, floods have been an issue for Tana River County. It has affected the livelihoods of our people. It is very sad that we have lost lives, livestock and food. I urge the Ministry of Water Sanitation and Irrigation, to look into this issue by ensuring that policies set are adhered to. It is sad that stakeholders such as KenGen would set up dams for their own good, without considering its effects on the people of Tana River County. I urge for policies that will ensure public participation during implementation of dam construction, so that it is a win-win situation. The polices developed should also consider effects of dams on future generations. I support."
