    "content": "Thank you for protecting me. I was saying that there is the National Drought Management Authority that deals with drought in this country. As the Chair is aware, every year we have had problems of either flooding or drought. Those flood prone areas, particularly in Trans-Nzoia; the Government needs to do something about it. The Government should assist because those areas that flood have become very destructive at the end of it all. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, floods destroy property. If we had dams built along rivers, flooding would not happen. We have a river called Sabwani that drains into Nzoia River. If there are plans to build dams as suggested in the Motion, then the benefits are many. One, the dams will check the speed of the river and thereby reduce the damage downstream. We will then create an environment where those dams can be used to do some farming. The water can be used for irrigation."
