    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to support this as well because we all know the importance of water and without water, we cannot be alive. Even animals cannot be alive. It is a very good Policy. We know that we have had problems with water in this country. When we have water, it can be excess. People suffer during floods. That is the kind of water that needs to be collected and protected. It should not be seen to go to waste. Somehow, we always just let it go and people drown in the floods. People suffer because we do not use that water or collect it to use it later. I think the first thing here is to ensure that the water that goes to waste is always collected and preserved for future use. I think that is one good area that we need to consider and the Policy really speaks on that as well. The second part is where people do not just have water at all. We know that we have ground water and, therefore, drilling of boreholes is very important. The Policy looks at how we can get resources, where we can get water, how we preserve and utilise it. I think all these sections are very important in the way we are looking at this Policy. Therefore, I support it because it takes care of every aspect of how water can be protected, cleaned and how it can be utilised by everybody in this country. I support. Thank you."
