    "content": "because of lack of water. It is indeed shameful because this shows that we do not have proper policies for protecting and harvesting our water. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most schools are built with iron sheets and they cannot even harvest their water. Therefore, it is my plea that in this Policy, farmers of this country will be assisted to harvest water. There are other related matters with the issue of water and that is forest cover. Farmers of this country should also be assisted to ensure that parts of their farms are under forest cover and protection of riverbanks. I want to believe that there are policies that speak about the protections of rivers but it is unfortunate that you will find most people doing farming on river banks. I have not seen a policy that protects our rivers. It is my plea that this Policy speaks about protection of our rivers and wetlands. It is high time we train our children on water conservation and planting of trees. I am sure many people are ready to plant trees especially during this rainy season but they do not have seedlings. It means the Government is not even ready to provide seedlings for those people who are ready to plant trees either in their farms or in public institutions. We all need to be responsible as Kenyans. The relevant ministry should ensure that it provides adequate seedlings and adequate training to target women and youths of this country. I want to believe that each item mentioned under this Policy will be undertaken and implemented. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Policy."
