    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this moment to thank hon. Birdi for bringing this Motion. The Motion has come at the right time, just at the onset of the Jubilee Government. Water is life and it is recorded that it only takes about three to five days for any human being to live without water. We have gone ahead and upped it in the Millennium Development Goals which are supposed to be achieved by 2015 and also in our Vision 2030. Having water for all is a key priority. This Motion addresses two issues. One, it is about the environmental hazards, namely, flooding, landslides and many other environmental hazards that come after heavy downpour, which we always attribute to being acts of God. We, sometimes, imagine that as human beings, there is nothing we can do about them. This gives a clear direction as to what can be done to ensure that we address the impact of those environmental hazards on us. We could convert what we always take as unfortunate situations to become our fortunes in future. When we talk about water, we touch on several aspects of development. Floods have a big impact on our health. They also have a big impact on our infrastructure and on the way we carry out our daily activities. As such, it is only fair that we address the impacts that are caused by floods and provide solutions."
