    "content": "Turkana Central, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, at least the ministry is honest and sincere that this project has continued to fail in its implementation. On the ground the projects done were destroyed by the river which is inside Lodwar Town. As you know, this is the headquarters of Turkana County. The people of Napatet Village have lost their property including their ancestral land. Over 150 persons have been displaced and are now homeless. They live in some makeshift homes in the adjacent village called Lokori. In Turkana, when we say ancestral land, it means a huge chunk of land. I want to inform the Chairman of the Committee that the Government might lose Lodwar Airstrip if we are not going to stop this flooding. The Government has lost Ksh138 million so far which is 55.2 per cent of the intended Ksh250 million. So, we are wasting resources because there is nothing tangible. The response is recommending a redesign. In the first place, they lacked skills to implement this project. They have raised the issue of funding but on the ground, it looks like the people who are implementing this project lack the required skills. I request we be given a budget that is not phased. In this case, when they give a small budget, the river destroys the gabions. I request The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
