"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, it cannot be denied that it is the water flowing down from the slopes of the Mau Forest Complex that does the devastation in Budalangâi. That cannot be denied. I have said that even a primary school child knows that, that is what is happening. I have not really pinned the hon. Member for Budalangâi to anything. I would have very much liked, if this debate is going to continue a little bit more, to see him defending the eviction of those destroying the Mau Forest Complex. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a fact and I want to thank the media and everybody because they have brought out most of the devastating effects of the destruction of the Mau Forest Complex. Many people now know what the effects of the destruction are. I mean, we have 12 rivers with sources at the Mau Forest Complex. There are other eight tributaries connecting these 12 rivers. So, we have 20 rivers that depend on the Mau Forest Complex. I tell you most of them are either dead or dying. They go all the way to Lake Turkana and all the way to western Kenya in the Yala area, all the way to Lake Natron in Tanzania. These are really devastating effects."
