"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe they are things which can be naturally explained by virtue of existing in this world. Matters of water are very serious today. In the last Government we had the Big Four Agenda where the Government was pumping billions of shillings in dams and connecting water. However, at the end of the day, the biggest matter that was not tackled was conservation and prudent use of water. This is a matter that my senior Sen. Wamatinga has brought on the table. Government must ensure that any infrastructure be it in medical, tourism and sports fields that any internal or external developer is investing in there is necessary infrastructure to ensure we conserve and prudently use water and therefore, be able to meet the expectations of Kenyans in terms of prudent use and availability of water. It was sad that in this country we devoted ourselves to continuously remind God that we need water, rain and our crops to flourish; yet when the rains came, Kenyans and the Government in particular did not do anything in regard to conserving and tapping the water for future use. This is why Sen. Wamatinga has done us proud. This Motion when adopted will ensure that as we pass the budget according to the will of the people, Government will be proactive to ensure what we are legislating on the Floor of the House is implemented and make Kenya a country where people live in peace. Those of them who want to do nocturnal entertainment, irrigation or water sports can do that prudently. I, therefore, support the process and the Motion."
