"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Chairman, for your kind donation. I support this Sessional Paper No.1 of 2021 on the National Water Policy, on the understanding that Kenya is purely an agricultural country. Everything in our economy revolves around agriculture. Agriculture heavily depends on the availability of water. In Kenya and specifically my constituency, which borders Laikipia, water has been a major source of conflict, yet it is at the same time the main source of our wealth. We do dairy farming and all activities because of the availability of water. This Sessional Paper has highly addressed all the issues pertaining to water. I urge the Government to revise its Big Four Agenda and consider water as one key agenda of this country. With this Paper which the ministry has put together in consultation with our Committee, it has catered for all those aspects that relate to availability, distribution, sustainability and equity, in as far as this resource is concerned. Therefore, this is a very important paper and I hope and believe that the Ministry will, together with the Government, enact its implementation so that Kenyan citizens can benefit from the water resource."
