    "content": "The second question was that I explain the immediate measures taken by the Ministry to fix the flooding in the particular stated areas. The Ministry is implementing the above- mentioned irrigation projects, rehabilitation of broken canals which once sorted will control the flooding that has been experienced before. The works will involve rehabilitation of the canals and desilting of the affected areas. Upon completion, we would expect that the drainage canals will effectively discharge flood waters to Lumi River and Lake Jipe and that will consequently reduce the effects of flooding. We will also create awareness to the community using the Irrigation Water Users Associations that are quite active in that area so that they can understand how to work in terms of operation and maintenance to avoid further destruction of the canals or silting. Some of the human activities in the farms are part of the problem causing silting of the canals."
