    "content": "(4) Safety concerns: The use of makeshift and inadequate watercraft for transportation poses significant safety risks to passengers and goods, especially during adverse weather conditions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in light of this challenge, I urge the Senate to prioritise the development of robust water transportation infrastructure in Lake Turkana. This includes the acquisition of suitable vessels capable of facilitating large-scale transportation of goods and passengers, similar to those operating in other lakes in the region. By investing in improved water transportation, we can unlock the economic potential of Lake Turkana, promote trade and connectivity between the communities and foster social economic development in the region. It is essential that we work collaboratively with relevant stakeholders to address the critical issues and ensure equitable access to transportation services for all residents of Turkana County. I thank you."
