    "content": "overflow happens and the river banks burst. Most of the inhabitants have to run away for safety all the time this happens. While we are thinking of planting trees in areas that are dry in order to attract rains, we have too much sometimes. Bwana Cabinet Secretary, what is your plan to raise something that can obstruct whenever the overflow happens in Budalangi because this should stop? It has been there before I was born. Even today in this age, the same story of floods is affecting our people. If you go to Teso North, you will find a hard pan. I tried to dig boreholes and I could not go beyond it. The few areas that have boreholes are seasonal. There is, therefore, a problem in Teso North. Is there a way we can have piped water to go across the sub-county or a dam that can feed the entire area? In that area, women and girls are raped at night while crossing to the other county to queue for six to eight hours. I meet men whenever I am doing my own criss- crossing and they joke that at night when you wake up and try to touch left and right, your wife is not there. She has gone to look for this important basic need - water. We can save a lot. When you come to Budalangi, food insecurity and poverty levels are high. No-one in this world would like to be called poor, but there are situations that happen and one finds themselves in that situation. Now that you have been sounding knowledgeable, as their Women Representative, I beg that we put it pragmatically so that it does not just look theoretically well done."
