"content": "throughout the year. It is for the same reason, Mr. Minister, that so many tourist hotels and lodges have been built on both sides of the river. That is in Samburu and also in Isiolo. There was an assurance of water to the communities living along the river and also the wildlife. There was a lot of conservation of wildlife and that is why many tourists were attracted to the area. But for now, just as my colleague has said, even for a short dry spell, the river runs dry. So, the wildlife suffers, just as the people who live around that area! The main reason, and I think that is an issue that even came up through a Parliamentary Question, is because there is a lot of diversion of water upstream. There is also destruction of the springs that feed that river. I know that because I have been there. Then, of course, there are farming activities on the river banks. So, Mr. Minister, we would like to request you to intervene."
