    "content": "agencies and the programmes that have been put in place have not borne any fruit. As I speak, over 70 per cent of Kenyans do not have clean drinking water. The Sessional Paper is a very good document. It is trying to look into how to harness water as a resource, to protect it and to ensure that future generations benefit. It is a resource that has been dwindling over the years. A number of rivers are drying up. In my Tinderet Constituency, a number of big rivers such as Ainamng’etuny or what we call the Nyando River in the lower areas is almost drying up because of poor protection. Even the marshlands which are home to many species of animals have already dried up. A number of rare animals such as the waterbuck do not have enough habitats because farmers have resorted to going to the wetlands and destroyed them by farming."
