"content": "in Garissa and downstream, up to Tana River, suffer immensely as a result of water being released by KenGen, without any notice. I narrated earlier that these pastoralists became farmers out of difficulties of losing their livestock. If they cannot be encouraged to become good farmers who can feed themselves and if possible, have surplus to sell, so that they can educate their children and attend to their needs, it will be very sad. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, during the campaigns, I met some of these farmers. One of the issues that they brought forward was the problem that they are facing as a result of this water, which is being released without notice. If there is anything that is harmful to human beings, it should be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, notice should be given, so that people do not suffer. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I wish to appeal to you that since this is a county Bill, and most of the Members are not around. I know that even tomorrow, we will have one or two Motions to deal with and most of the Senators will be travelling to Mombasa. I request that you use your wisdom to allow this Motion to be voted for, possibly, next week. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move."
