    "content": "The Government has no resources currently to reconstruct houses or compensate victims of floods in the country. In Turkana County, specifically around Lodwar Town and its environs, light flash floods have been experienced during these long rains. The flash floods were not severe and therefore, no families and properties were marooned by floods since all water dissipated into Lake Turkana. However, the Government continues to monitor the situation and is improving the supply of relief food under the regular relief programme to the area. Finally, floods response requires a concerted approach and I urge the Members to support this endeavour by sensitizing communities against settlements in riparian areas and to also desist from deforestation to reduce the occurrence of floods. The situation in Marigat is not as bad as Letangule. Floods have subsided and it has not rained for the last three days. However, reports that reached us yesterday indicate that floods have now affected that area. I will personally make a visit tomorrow to the affected area."
