    "content": "the NIA is not desilting the canals that should be taking water from the dam and containing some of the flood water. That is why the water is ravaging villages where people live. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is sad that, as it rains, the NIA is not harnessing the water and directing it to dams like Thiba Dam that was commissioned recently by just desilting the canals and taking care of the in-farm road infrastructure within Mwea Irrigation Scheme. I will endeavour to get the Chairperson to answer. I support the request for statement by the Member for Mwea. Indeed, the people of Mwea have suffered for a long time. We must do all we can to help them. I congratulate the Member for Mwea for being very sensitive about the plight of the people. When I saw the situation highlighted on television, I did not even know that she was going to request for a statement. That tells you that the people of Mwea never made a mistake in electing a leader who bears their burdens and is able to bring to this House issues that are of concern to them. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
