    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion especially for communities living along Tana and Ewaso Nyiro rivers. My community in Isiolo County lives on either side of Ewaso Nyiro River. The river has two negative impacts on the communities that live downstream. During the rainy season when there is plenty of water and we have not developed adequate infrastructure like dams to contain this excess water, it becomes a nuisance. This becomes a major cause of disasters and emergencies. The rivers fill the banks and as they flow towards the communities leaving downstream, they break banks and flood into the areas, washing away livestock, people, crops, and so on. Together with the leadership of Isiolo County, I recently participated in helping the locals because their food was destroyed and their livestock carried away by flood waters. In some places the water had surrounded the communities. It became a threat and a disaster and we called for Government intervention. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
