    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairman, Senate Committee on Devolution. Recently, Nairobi and other major towns like Narok have experienced devastating effects of floods after the heavy down pour. Major flooding has led to loss of lives and destruction of property worth millions, both in Narok and in Nairobi. Rivers have been diverted from the natural course by construction of poorly planned permanent structures. An example is Mbagathi River which has caused great loss to property as it forced its way through Nairobi West this week. In my Statement, I would like the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning to answer the following:- (1) what is the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, in conjunction with affected counties, doing as part of the emergency response to avert further disaster of the ongoing rains. (2) what is the Nairobi county government doing to reclaim Nairobi Dam which is a major water reservoir in Nairobi yet it has been invaded by the water hyacinth? (3)what sustainable measures has the Ministry, in conjunction with the Nairobi County Government Physical Planning Division, put in place to curb rogue developers from developing structures on wetlands and water courses?"
