    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The point being raised by my learned senior Sen. Faki is a very weighty issue. In fact, it is just beyond the Committee looking at the Statement as it is. It is about this House providing legal solutions to the question of water management in the country. Remember that the structure of water management as a resource, harvesting and distribution of water resources, the law itself was passed way before devolution. After devolved governments came into place, the structure that was in place was maintained, which established companies that were dealing with water distribution on behalf of county councils then. However, the function of the major water infrastructure remained a national Government function. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is upon us as a Senate to sit down and relook at the old structure of water management and distribution. My take is that because it takes huge resources to build dams and ensure that you have enough water to be distributed and for water resource management, that remains a national Government function. We put in place proper structures for the same. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
