    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to second the adjournment Motion brought by Sen. Kavindu on the disastrous effects of flooding in Machakos County and beyond. It is clear to everyone in this country now that the El Nino phenomenon is still active. The resultant effects of this phenomenon are manifesting in heavy downpours followed by floods, loss of livelihoods and loss of lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, beyond Machakos, the Seven Forks Dams, including Masinga, Kamburu, Kiambere, Mutonga and Kindaruma are filling up at a very fast rate. It is just a matter of days before we begin to experience serious flooding downstream across several counties, including Kitui. The real impact of this flooding will be felt in the county of my neighbours, the Tana River County. A few days ago, on Sunday, I drove through Machakos and Athi River which flows across the county, near Athi River Town, had seriously burst its banks. There were serious catastrophic effects of the flooding, including loss of lives. Houses had been washed away. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought I would find solace and safety on the expressway. So, I joined the expressway at Mlolongo, but suffered the same fate I was suffering on the normal road."
