    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations on a matter of inter-county regarding the construction of dykes along Sondu Miriu River by the National Youth Service (NYS) under the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sondu Miriu River forms the boundary between Kisumu and Homa Bay counties. The river frequently bursts its banks resulting in devastating floods that affect both Nyakach in Kisumu County and Rachuonyo in Homa Bay County. Currently, there is construction of dykes taking place on the Homa Bay side of the river. However, there is no corresponding effort on the Kisumu side. This poses a serious threat as the dykes could potentially redirect floodwaters towards Nyakach, putting residents at increased risk of destruction and displacement. In this Statement, the Committee should address the following- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
