    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Petition is timely. It is obvious that Kenya is a water scarce country and many people go without water. Many people travel endless hours and endless kilometres looking for water. Many Kenyans believed and trusted that with devolution, some of these mundane and basic issues were going to be resolved. Unfortunately, 10 years after devolution, we still have nagging water problems in many parts of this country. The country has pumped billions upon billions of shillings to the devolved units but there are no tangible results. I sympathise and emphasis with the petitioner and the many women who bear the burden of looking for water in the country all over the places to provide it for domestic use and for their animals. I support the Petition and hope that once it is processed, we will have a basis upon which to amend the Water Act to ensure that water is supplied to every single homestead as it was the goal of the Government at independence. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Petition."
