    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to apologise for not supplying him with the written reply. I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Uaso Ng'iro North River is drying up for a stretch exceeding 100 kilometres between Malka Daka and Habaswein. (b) It is true that this situation is largely due to illegal abstraction of river water by the large- scale farmers who are irrigating. (c) Certainly, we are now creating awareness to the farmers upstream, so that they do not draw water from the river as fast as they are doing, hence making the people downstream suffer. This is a result of climatic changes that we are all facing and, of course, the destruction of trees. We, as a Ministry, are putting up a team to study this situation, so that we can be allocated more resources in the next financial year to save the situation."
