    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the adoption of this Report. I am also a member of this Committee. We have tried our best to visit as many dams as possible. Of course, we were constrained. Some of the dams which we wanted to visit did not fall under our Committee and that is why one of the recommendations we have made as a Committee is such that all water-related works be put under one ministry and there be a directorate to deal with dams. If we look at observations, there are some observations which we made. One of the key ones that I would like to talk about is generally poor funding of water sector by the National Treasury and this has actually forced us as a country to go for expensive loans through this funding model we are calling Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Financing (EPCF) contract. This is where a private entity- most of the times an entity which is not a Kenyan entity- actually does the engineering work. Moreover, it does the procurement work and it also seeks for financing.
