"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the two Cabinet Secretaries who have shown up this morning to answer questions from the Senators. I have observed that they were former Members of Parliament, so they understand exactly why Senators ask these questions. Cabinet Secretary for Water and Irrigation, thank you for your performance so far in the Ministry. Your performance in the National Assembly when we served for two terms together was also exemplary. When I am here, I am representing Meru County and I want to be selfish and ask issues concerning Meru. Madam Cabinet Secretary, sometimes, you may not have direct answers to our questions, but it is good for you to at least capture what we are requesting. I am concerned the several dams that are lined up in Meru. Some of the areas can get dams while others need tapping the underground water which is so much from Bori Constituency, Tigania West, Tiganai East, Igembe Central and North. Besides the dams, what is the Ministry doing to profile the whole region, especially the arid and semi-arid zones of Meru to do water pans and wells. At least, these are cheaper to do unlike the dams that need billions in this financial year. If you do not have the answer, that can be canvassed somewhere else. However, I want you to note that we are really following up those projects especially in my county."
