    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also weigh in on this weighty matter. We pray for the rain and it is a blessing, but we are unable to manage the blessing. We are unable to manage it because, first, we cannot store the water. After a few months, we start crying because of drought. Secondly, when we have rain, some water sips into the ground, so that we can plant. However, the overflow will always find its way to the rivers. If these waters do not find a way, they will always make a way. If they do not find drainages that are well cleared, they will always cause floods which cause havoc. Sometimes we blame the national Government, yet as the Senate, pursuant to Article 96 of the Constitution of Kenya, our role is to protect the interests of counties and county governments. A county government comprise the executive and the assembly and a county represents people. So, we have to protect interests of the people. Every county has an emergency fund. These are monies that are used to cater for unforeseen scenarios or damages."
