    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. In this country, we have two weather extreme conditions, namely, floods and droughts. The reason as to why my colleague brought this Motion is to try and look for ways of dealing with the problem of floods. Floods have become a problem in this country. During the rainy season, we lose a lot of our properties. Many of our bridges and roads are washed away by floods. I happen to visit some European countries. In those countries, research is carried out to map out the areas being affected by floods. In this country, it is obvious that most ASAL areas are affected by floods. In the western region, we have Budalangi, which one of my colleagues here talked about. That is the constituency that my good friend, hon. Namwamba, represents. I wonder when, every year I see that lady crying to our Government. There is nobody who listens to her. I want to urge hon. Members that, as leaders, we must find ways and means of dealing with the issue of floods. Floods can help us. If we construct dykes and dams, we can store flood water for irrigation and domestic use. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
