    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was wondering why my good friend, Mr. Wetangula, was so worried about Kabuga. It is, indeed, important that the Government signs international protocols, so that their intentions or objectives can be fulfilled and enjoyed by the people. For example, soil erosion is part of illegal exploitation of natural resources. A lot of soil is carried away into Lake Victoria. It is filling the lake bed and causing a lot of flooding in Budalangi. However, there is a protocol in place to look into that aspect. It is extremely important that the Government takes action before we lose that lake and soil from the highlands. Soil is being eroded and carried into the lake. The soil carries chemicals with it, which is now destroying aquatic life in the lake and rivers. At the end of the day, we, as a country, will be the losers. We will not enjoy the goodness of rich soil, which will have been taken to fill the bed of a river and allow water to disturb and cause discomfort to the people of Budalangi and elsewhere around the lake. I feel that the Government should take action to reduce soil erosion and protect the people of Budalangi and aquatic life by signing the necessary protocols. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
