    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, to paraphrase Prophet Isaiah, justice has been lying prostrate in the flood plains of Budalangi for the 45 years that this country has been independent. This cannot be allowed to continue. Martin Luther King loved to say that the arc of history is long, but that arc always bends towards justice. I want to have faith that the Government is not going to oppose this Motion and that it is going to see that it has contributed to the perpetuation of the flooding problem in Budalangi Constituency. It has contributed to lowering the esteem and the capacity of the people in this constituency to take charge of their lives. I want to urge the Government to demonstrate goodwill and accept to compensate the people in this constituency. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the people of Budalangi are reasonable and hard working. They do not expect free things. Indeed, the people of Budalangi have no time for relief food. They want a permanent solution to this problem so that they can work hard and eke out a living from their sweat. I want to urge the Government that we have already started the process of computation. I have data here dating all the way back to the year 2000. This data has details of the number of farmlands that have been devastated, goats, houses and lives that have been destroyed. We have the information. Any time the Government is ready, it is here and it can be used as a basis for this conservation. I beg to move."
