    "content": "I think it is important to mention that I come from Nyandarua County and we provide water to Laikipia, Nakuru, Nairobi and Nyeri counties. Also in our county, there are very many residents without water. So, as we manage this resource, if there is a lot of water where you come from, before it being transported or taken to other places, it is only fair that those who are near are also supplied with water. I come from Ndaragwa and in areas like Kanyagia, Simbara, Shamata and the whole of Pesi area, the last time they saw piped water was in 1974. This was done by J.M. Kariuki through a project referred to as Kirima Water Project. Children in these areas do not know how piped water looks like yet, we supply other counties with water. As we think through and celebrate the passing of this Water Policy, it is important for those in the Ministry of Water to understand that there are areas which require the kind of attention given to other areas. I applaud them for what they have done, but they need to ensure they become alive to the needs of the people of Ndaragwa and greater Nyandarua. Ndaragwa is the home of the only fresh water lake in Mt. Kenya region and for many who do not know it is referred to as Lake Olbolosat. Even if we have this freshwater lake, very little management of this resource is evident. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
