    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, in response to Mr. Ochieng, we are discussing with the Ministry of Education because even the schools have been destroyed. Once we arrive at a consensus on the kind of assistance that we should give, we will go ahead and do that. On the issue of dykes, that is a long term plan and they are being done. We also want assistance from Members of Parliament because in some cases where the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has wanted to do dams there has been resistance on the ground. So, we want to ask you to help us, so that we can educate our people that dams are being done for their own good. I would also want to inform hon. Members that the rains that came were actually unprecedented. So, even the stock that we had was not enough and most of the roads have been swept away. However, we are increasing the amounts between now and the end of the week. So, that is being taken care of. On the issue of Nyatike, Karachuonyo and South Nyanza, I hope I will be visiting you in the course of next week, so that we can assess the situation and so that we can give you whatever assistance that is needed. On Budalangi, the western Kenya project is now back on course. We will rehabilitate the dykes, so that we do not have this issue of water causing havoc again."
