    "content": "leading to a surge in prices. It is also noted that due to impassability of roads, residents generally rely on boats as a means of transportation. This has resulted in increased safety risks as exemplified by the recent events on the Garissa-Madogo road, where a boat capsized leading to loss of lives. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation on the following: 1. What immediate measures have been put in place by the government to address the flood menace in Garissa and Tana River Counties caused by the overflow from the Masinga Dam? 2. What steps are being taken to provide assistance to affected farmers, including provision of financial support? 3. Could the Chairperson clarify whether there are any measures being put in place to improve infrastructure such as the road networks and drainage system in the downstream areas of the Masinga Dam to mitigate flood risks and facilitate emergency response efforts? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
