"content": "However, we have not done a lot to prevent floods, which is a perennial problem. At this time in this country, we should be seriously thinking about next year rather than waiting for floods to occur and then we run there. I come from a county that experiences a lot of flooding. Up to now, schools have not been repaired. Bridges are impassable. For me, coming up with a fund that supports the repair of the destruction caused by floods should be a priority. Many lives have been lost. Children took a long time to go back to school for the second semester. This is not something that we should be doing. The Government needs to look for long-term solutions to curb the menace. We should not wait and every time there are floods, we rush there with very short-term measures and take food stuffs, sanitary towels and cooking oil. That is not the solution that we are looking for as a nation. We are looking for long-term solutions that are going to curb flooding in this country. I fully support this Motion, which is very timely."
