I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the good responses she has given. I come from Wajir County, which is 56,000 Square Kilometres and it is a landlocked area. There is no river that flows; there are temporary flowing streams. However, the land is endowed with underground water. However, because of the dry seasons that are very frequent, water is now becoming very scarce. I know many of my colleagues and Members of Parliament (MPs) are attached every day to your office. I think we have upside down priorities. For one, what Wajir County needs now is a very serious water investment."}
