    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a national issue. The issues we are raising here are just a fraction of the whole. The responses we are getting are also in small bits. If we leave alone this case in Kericho, the issue of floods and unpassable bridges affects the entire country. For example, people are carried away by floods in River Enziu every single time we have floods. Before the long rains this season, it was known that El Nino was coming. Preparations were underway and funds were set aside to respond to El Nino . This is the bigger picture. In the past, we had special programmes for disasters like floods and drought. My view is that this should be looked at seriously. We should have a special programme in the Ministry that will mark out areas prone to floods and drought. Even before Independence, the issue of the Koru-Soin Dam was discussed in 1954 and we are still talking about it today. As we make promises about bridges, we need to have special programmes that will address disaster management more comprehensively.
