    "content": "have heard stories about Ndakaini, Arror and Kimwarer dams and such other mega projects. The key factor should be emphasis on those small dams and water pans. In Kenya, we also have to make sure that the existing water towers are conserved. Of late, you have seen the destruction of huge sections of the Mount Kenya Forest, the Mau Forest and the Aberdares Forest. Those are critical water towers. If we continue doing that, the whole country will become a desert. Therefore, water will become a very scarce resource which will bring a lot of friction between communities that have forever lived side-by-side without any issue, but now, due to shortage of water, they have to fight for that resource. As I finish, we have to make it a policy that whoever is putting up a new building must make sure that there is a water harvesting system. We must also ensure that the water is fit for consumption. The Thwake Dam, however big it is, stands to lose massively because of water pollution given that the main source of Thwake Dam is Nairobi River which is highly polluted. So, the policy as it is, is good. I believe we are walking the talk and we shall implement this policy as soon as possible."
