    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the engineers recommended that we rehabilitate these dams at a cost of Kshs315 million. You will accept that the Ministry cannot, therefore, do this in one financial year. However, as we adjust our budget, we want to assure the hon. Member that we will de-silt more than six dams per year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to plead with Members of Parliament that, instead of them buying graders for their constituencies, we need excavators more than graders. Could Members consider this, in their budgets, to buy bulldozers, which cost about Kshs10 million? These bulldozers can be used to de-silt the dams. The Ministry cannot permanently do that for them! Secondly, Members of Parliament should take the responsibility to educate their people. As long as they continue to interfere with the forest cover, this problem will be there permanently and it cannot just be solved by the Ministry but the will of the communities and other local leaders."
