    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I proceed to the second part of the Question on the measures being pursued by the Government to conserve the lake in view of the fact that it is on the verge of extinction, despite being a source of tourism revenue for both the national Government and the county government. We have undertaken the following measures: 1. Conducted a study on the lake catchment area to determine the intensity of human activities which generate negative effects to the lake and to River Yala. 2. We will sensitise the communities upstream to ensure human activities are friendly to the environment hence reducing the sediment loading into the lake. 3. We will institute a programme of dealing with desilting the lake and rehabilitation of the deteriorated catchment area, which includes the community around the lake."
