    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In addition to what the Member for Lamu has said, the issue of floods is now a disaster in the three counties, namely, Garissa, Tana River and Lamu. We petitioned this House on flooding caused by KenGen and the House passed a resolution that the victims be compensated. Three-quarters of my constituency is now submerged in water. People are in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps. There is no tangible assistance from KenGen. They just give short notices. Farms have been affected and livestock have been swept away by water. Settlements and schools are flooded. This keeps on happening and it is not normal flooding. I urge this House to compel KenGen to compensate our people. They are doing a lot of destruction. Hon. Pukose, together with the Members of the Departmental Committee on Energy, came to witness the destruction happening in our area. Their Report is with the Committee on Implementation and I would like to urge the House to compel KenGen to compensate our people."
