    "content": "We have been talking about construction of dams, which is okay for us to do in this country. However, I want to inform the House that the largest dam which we have is Lake Victoria. Almost nine huge rivers of this country flow into that lake. The lake has been under- utilized since Independence, but it has a very high potential for food security. As we try to benchmark in Egypt and Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda are using that water. However, we are restricted by a very old Nile treaty. When we tried to use this water massively, it came up internationally. I can remember I read the story on what happened in this House. Hon. Wetangula stood up here and raised concern when he was the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. Since then, nothing much has happened. If we cannot advocate for the repealing of that old treaty so that we can maximally use the Lake Victoria waters, then we can disregard the Bill as well The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
