    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on an issue that touches me deeply. I come from a county where that river passes through and there are dams. We have lost lives from the Embu County. We have lost livestock and crops. Every time we look at the seasons and see the river fill up and destroy properties, we feel very sad. This is because soon after, the climate changes and the harvest becomes poor. So, we have been looking forward to a Motion like this one, where we can support and help our people to come up with measures to ensure food security and security for themselves and their livestock. Where we have the dams, we have crocodiles. When it becomes dry, the people go to the river to fetch water and the crocodiles attack them. There is proper technology in this country. We have KenGen and other people who are learned and educated, who can come up with ideas on how to harvest this water, so that we can use it to irrigate our land. We have a lot of land in Mbeere, where it is dry. We also have livestock and people who can benefit from this water. I support this very important Motion."
