"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation regarding the irregular maintenance of the drainage systems, on-farm roads and canals that have caused flooding within Mwea Irrigation Scheme and the surrounding areas. Hon. Temporary Speaker, following the Thursday, 4th April 2024 overnight downpour in Mwea Constituency, about 15 households were severely affected by floods water while more than 100 people were left homeless. Additionally, many homesteads and businesses were submerged in water and acres of crops destroyed. While some families sought alternative and safe areas to settle, there still exists grave risk to members of the public. Notably, the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) under the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation has not adequately addressed the issue of proper maintenance of water canals that are used to transport water for irrigation and on-farm roads in the rice fields. De-siltation of canals has also not been undertaken for a long time leading to blockage and flooding. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on the following matters: 1. What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that the families that have been affected by the flooding in Mwea are assisted? 2. What regulatory framework has the Government put in place to ensure that de- siltation is undertaken regularly, and that there is regular maintenance of water canals and on-farm roads? 3. What emergency response measures has the Ministry adopted to address flood related challenges in Mwea Constituency? I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
