    "content": "Hon. Speaker, people are doing farming along the river banks; the area from Buuri to Isiolo and beyond. There is over-grazing and a lot of deforestation. When it rains in the uplands of Meru, all the water flows down to Isiolo and it causes untold suffering to the people who are living downstream. Just two months after, everybody started fighting to share the available water, which is never enough for farming. I think the best thing is for the Government to take proactive steps of constructing dams upstream, so that we can have enough storage of water. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is not only in Isiolo but all ASAL areas, including Kitui and the whole the Ukambani region. There are big rivers like Athi, Thua, Kawi, Thwake, Kaiyo, Matinga, Tiva, Kaiti and others which can be dammed so that people living in Galole and Tana River are not affected by floods during the most difficult time of the rainy season."
