"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not quite clear whether I should reply in Kiswahili or in English. Nevertheless, let me reply in English. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the truth of the matter is that we do not plan for what nature does. What nature has done has interfered with what we had planned to carry out. The rains have come and the Coast Province, including Taita Taveta District, has been hit very hard. Right now, as I stand here, most senior officers from my Ministry, including the Chief Engineer, Roads, are at the Coast assessing the situation. Other areas which have been hit even more than Taita Taveta District are Kilifi District and Kwale District. Movement in these areas is almost impossible. We have, however, taken there portable bridges to help people cross rivers. Mr. Temporary Deputy, Speaker, Sir, this is going to be a question of assessing the situation and then reviewing the allocations we have given. This is an emergency and should be considered as an issue outside the agreed budget."
