    "content": "I have listened to the Chair of the Committee. They seem to have a proper Report that captures the issues that Kenyans have noted about the dams that we have in this country. The first one is the cost. Many times, when you look at the cost implication of the dams that are constructed starting from the mega ones even up to the small ones, there seem to be always an element of inflated cost. That is why you find that a lot of corruption goes into projects that are involved with dams. For example, Kimwarer and Arror dams in Elgeyo Marakwet County where even the people did not know where the dams were to be constructed. The Government had not been given the land on which the dams were to be built, and yet money had already started being spent. So, it is really important that we figure out a way which we can bring down the cost, so that we ensure that Kenyans get value for money.
