    "content": "I believe everything that President William Ruto says. I believe that is the standard. In my own opinion, if you break a world record, you will get you Kshs5 million. If you break a second world record, you also get another Kshs5 million. For the purposes of the reward system for our sportsmen and women, it would be the best. In the past, our sportsmen and women were only getting less than a Kshs1 million. It is like what President Museveni did. He used to give a house and car. If you were not also married, a wife or husband. I wanted to confirm to the House because many people might imagine we are doing a talk show. Sen. Wamatinga has highlighted the challenges of accessibility and use of water. There are many resolutions. I want to allay fears of our Members. This is because when we were sitting in the Members’ Lounge many asked what would follow after the Motion has been resolved. I am happy that a number of issues will be resolved, for example, the reinforcing of ‘Sports Fund and others. I want to congratulate and commend the Senator for Nyeri County, Sen. Wamatinga, for bringing this Motion. Water is one of the available resources. It is readily available but not so much again. That is the problem we have in the country. Under Article 43, every Kenyan, under economic and social rights, has a right to clean and safe water. The demand for water in the county is high, especially in household needs. 70 per cent of water demand goes to agriculture. People like Sen. Mungatana, MGH, use irrigation to plant their food unlike us who use rainfed agriculture such as parts of Meru and Nandi counties. However, in Tana River County, you find out that the demand for water in households is 70 per cent. Therefore, we must be ready to implement Article 43 on economic and social rights. When the President addresses the Joint Sitting and submits the progress report on the implementation of economic and social rights and any other form of rights as demanded by the Constitution, then we shall interrogate. The average spending of water per household in Kenya is 1365 litres per week. There is a population of 53.5 million Kenyans across the world. I have seen students in the Gallery. Some of us went to schools that were very cold. I am not saying that water was not available in the great Kapsabet Boys High School. For the record, it has produced the second and fifth Presidents of this country. We do not know whether it will produce the seventh. Moreover, because of the cold in Kapsabet Town and its environs, we used to do “passport”. I am not encouraging our students to go in that direction. They should shower daily. During our time, some of us used to have a lot of allergies. Somebody has said that when it rains in his county, the electricity also disappears. I do not know the relationship. All of us live in Nairobi City County. According to the statistics that we have--- We are talking about Nairobi City County because it is our capital city. Therefore, building plans will ensure there is incorporation of water management systems."
