    "content": "in my area we have a small river called Sabwani. That river is causing havoc. Yesterday, I could not cross to the other side of the river. I had to go almost 30 kilometres to reach the other side of the river. The President said that he would bring a Bill that would address the issue of annual droughts and floods. I suggest that, in the Bill, we need to have a provision for check dams downstream which will contain the overflowing rivers. Out of the check dams we could also do irrigation which will help our people during the drought seasons. I support what the President said. Hon. Speaker, Sir, another thing that is affecting us in Trans Nzoia and which the President spoke about is the issue of eviction and settlement of IDPs and squatters. Trans Nzoia, as most people know, was a white settlement. We have more squatters in that area than in any other place. Therefore, I am requesting the President to help us settle the squatters in Trans Nzoia before getting the so-called IDPs from other places to come to Trans Nzoia. We have a problem there. People have not been settled since Independence. We remember the clashes of 1992. There are places called Bosnia and Chechnya---"
