    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to move this Motion which we gave notice of. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that pursuant to Standing Order No.37, the Senate do now adjourn to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance, namely, the prevailing heavy rain and subsequent flooding in many parts of the country. Lately, we have experienced extremely heavy downpours of rainfall in various parts of our country. This rainfall in various parts of the country, especially the highlands, has resulted in flooding of the lowlands in our country. Those that have been badly affected are those in the coastal areas in this country. Statistics that have been given to us state that at least 80,000 households have been affected in the Coast. In Tana River County, where I come from, at least 20,000 households have been affected. Farms and homes have been submerged while animals have been swept away, because of the waters that are coming down. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, schools, hospitals, areas of common amenities, like churches, and mosques, none of these places have been spared. We have lost lives in the last few days to the continuous heavy rains that have hit the nation. We thank various county governments that have made an effort to find solutions within their capacities. Counties in the northern part of Kenya have also experienced extremely heavy rains. County governments have come out to do what they can. They have managed to do the little they can with their resources. We congratulate the county"
