    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, flood mitigation falls under two Ministries. One element falls under my Ministry and the other element falls under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. This is a specific project for Western Province. This is what we have been dealing with and we are trying to extend the programme to the rest of the country. For the time being, we usually just respond to emergencies. We have not been able to roll out projects to the rest of the country. As for the people of Budalangi tearing into the dykes, I do not think that is the resolution to floods. You cannot risk to destroy dykes which have cost so much and which are supposed to be people's life savers, just because you want fish. Secondly, sometimes we have problems because the floods are very heavy. Early this year during the post-election skirmishes, it was difficult for the workers to complete their work because the supervisors were from outside and they had been sent away. As a result, work which should have been done very well, was not done properly."
