"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know the economic benefits the country will get from such a dam. It first controls flooding downstream. Secondly, it can be used to produce electricity and, thirdly, it can also be used to produce drinking water for the population. Fourthly, it can also be used as a tourist attraction like the Aswan Dam in Egypt. They draw water from our Lake Victoria and they use it to attract tourism in that area. There have big hotels constructed around it with boats. This attracts many tourists from all the world who go to see Aswan Dam. These dams can bring many benefits, including tourism as well as economic benefits. However, they need to be carefully planned and in full consultation with the people. Public participation must be stressed because it is important. I support the statement by my leader, Sen. Wambua. I thank you."
