    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was listening to Mr. Namwamba moving the Motion. I was in the pigeon hole area. I heard exactly what he has said. What I am saying is very simple - that this is a serious issue. We, as a Government, need to have a policy in place to address natural disasters seriously. We have to speak here as nationalists. We should not speak here as populist Members of Parliament. We are here to defend the country as a whole. We are here to talk about Mandera and Tana Delta districts. We know Budalangi. In the last Parliament, the Member of Parliament for Budalangi was appointed Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation. He should have, first and foremost, developed a policy to dyke River Nzoia for the people of Budalangi to benefit. So, we cannot come here and condemn the Government by saying that it is negligent. We are not negligent. We are coming up with a policy to ensure that such a natural disaster is addressed."
