    "content": "The amendment that has been made to that Motion is welcomed. I support it. But I want to say that we know the truth. Construction of a dam does not take a day; it does not take a month. It could, indeed, take years to complete and it requires budgetary allocations, which does not exist. Does that mean that, even as we compel those two companies to construct that dam, we are telling the people who are living along the banks of Tana River: “Continue suffering for a few more years as the dam is being constructed?” In my view, that is not acceptable. We want those two companies to be compelled to go and do an assessment of the damage that has been caused by the floods that occurred in the recent rains. We do not even want to talk about very many years in the past; just the floods that occurred recently. Go and conduct a study, compensate the poor farmers and reconstruct schools that have been destroyed beyond repair. We continue pumping Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money in those schools, year in, year out."
