into either a Bill or an amendment into our own laws, so that it can have the force of law and one way or the other, we can implement it and ensure that we can resolve this.

It is true, as said by the Senator, that this problem is more pronounced in counties like Tana River and those that have a flat terrain. When the rains fall in the upper areas, the water flows in those areas and it becomes a bigger menace, especially the water that has been in the reservoirs. What does that teach us? What does that teach the leadership at county level? I know that counties that are under Arid and Semi-Arid (ASAL) are the ones that have been largely affected by this phenomenon. I propose that this be one of the agenda ...
