    "content": "(ii) appropriate farming methods be applied in the catchment area; and, (iv) people settled in the flood-prone areas need to be relocated to higher ground. Hon. Speaker, in addition to these preventive measures, the following actions have been taken to curb future flooding:- (i) continuous monitoring of lake levels and river flows in Perkerra, Molo and Endao Rivers, whose output would be used for early warning systems; (ii) rehabilitation of the automatic water level recorder at AGS2E203 on River Molo; (iii) finalisation of the Sub-catchment Management Plan developed by Perkerra Water Resource Users Association to address the problems in management of the catchment area; (iv) implementation of the Molo Water Resource Users Association management plan for Rongai River, which is a tribute to Molo River; and, (v) an early warning system for floods be established at Kabarnet Sub-Office. Hon. Speaker, Lake Nakuru has also not been spared, and the roads to the park were inaccessible due to flooding during the period that the Ministry officials went to assess the situation. Once again, it is the issue of the water resource users’ management plans that are not being implemented. The Ministry has taken the following measures to avoid the predicament encountered by the persons living around Lakes Bogoria and Baringo:- (i) continuous monitoring of lake water levels and flooding in Njoro and Makali Rivers; (ii) rehabilitation of the automatic water level recorder at Njoro River; and, (iii) full implementation of the Sub-catchment Management Plan for Njoro, Makali and Ndereti Water Users Association and establishment of an early warning system at Naivasha sub-station. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
