    "content": "We have been talking about the construction of dams and dykes along the rivers. There is River Kuja in my county. When this river breaks it banks, families are displaced. I want to support this Motion because people and animals have died. We need to ensure that county governments train our people about harvesting water. Our people do not know how to harvest water. They largely depend on natural rain. When it does not rain in this country our people become poor. We need to be serious about the issue of flooding and water in this country. In this country, you will see women carrying vibuyus and all manner of containers looking for water. They waste their energies which they could divert elsewhere or do meaningful things. We need to be serious about the issue of water because water is life. This is a matter that is addressed in Chapter Four of the Constitution under the Bill of Rights. We are not talking about something small; we are talking about a constitutional right of this country. With those many remarks, I want to support the issue of dams and reservoirs and the whole issue of addressing flooding in this country. Thank you very much."
