    "content": "One, whether it will be possible for the Authority to begin working on the lake as she has promised before the long rains begin. If any work is to be done, it should be done now. That is my first prayer. Two, she has indicated that there is an allocation of Ksh30 million which can be used to begin the work. I am aware that this House allocated about Ksh350 million to address flooding cases across the country. Given that the flooding of Lake Kanyaboli affects the livelihoods of about 20,000 people - about 10,000 people in Central Alego and Usonga wards and others people in Budalang’i Constituency - I plead with her to consider increasing the budgetary allocation so that we settle this issue once and for all. Lastly, as the area Member of Parliament, I will co-operate with the Authority to ensure that some of the recommendations she has made that require the intervention of the community to address the perennial flooding are handled well. I am going to co-operate with the community and work together on that. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
