"content": "Hon. Members, looking at the Order Paper, we should be in Order No.8 which is Committee of the whole House, but for the convenience of the House in terms of Standing Order No.40(2), we will move to Order No.13 which merely is a Motion by hon. Wario whose Question could not be put because of lack of quorum. I will put the Question and then we will go back to Order No.8 and others. The Motion as amended by hon. Wario reads as follows:- THAT, aware that the heavy rains experienced across the country have caused flooding in many areas such as Tana River; concerned that the Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA) and the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) have been draining water from their dams to River Tana; deeply concerned that people living downstream have been displaced, property destroyed and loss of livelihood following the artificial flooding occasioned by these two government agencies, this House resolves that TARDA and KenGen should immediately stop draining water from their dams to River Tana, undertake to construct a dam to regulate and control floods and forthwith compensate the people who have been affected."
