    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also requested for a similar Statement but the response is not sufficient. My Statement was not only meant for Ijara but the entire Garissa County because power outages affected Ijara Township and other areas within the county. The response says that compensation would be given to farmers. We have, however, tried to follow up and there is nothing that has been done. We cannot have this response limited to just the electricity issues. It should also address the plight of the farmers whose produce has been affected. I am interested to know what the Ministry is doing. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation said that it is under his Committee but it is not. It is under the Departmental Committee on Energy and Petroleum. In their response, they said they are working to compensate the farmers but nothing has been done. This happened in October last year and February this year. So, if we were to experience floods again, it would still affect the farmers. So, please, let us find a solution for the farmers who have also been affected. Thank you."
