    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is of note that I bring to the attention, a few salient features of the Speech by H. E. the President. One, is on the issue of water. I know that more than 23 million Kenyans across counties are facing drought and famine. I agree that the provision of water should be a priority. Even in my own county, there was a dam called Keben Dam that was stalled because of issues of politics. There was also Arror and Kimwarer Dam and now Sondu Miriu Project that we are now sharing with my brother, Sen (Prof.) Tom Ojenda, who happens to have been my law lecturer. There is also Thwake, Mwache, Karimenu and many other dams. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I assure my brothers and sisters on the minority side that provision of water will create irrigation. Therefore, farmers will be able to irrigate in Kitui, where my sister, the Hon. Senator and my brother the Deputy Minority Leader, Bishop, Sen. Wambua comes from. I congratulate him. I know he will increase the prayers in the Senate Business Committee so that we can do well. Provision and access to clean water is very important. It is a constitutional right. I thank the President for prioritizing all projects, including water and dam projects that are closed. The National Irrigation Board (NIB), the Ministry of Water and county"
