    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance. From the onset, I support the Bill, but I will be very brief because I can read the mood of the House. I support the PPP arrangement because we are talking about the accessibility of water in many areas. Even though almost 70 per cent of the country has access to water, most people do not have adequate water supplies. We need adequacy as well as accessibility of water. I worked very closely on the Water Act in 2016 in mainstreaming human rights. One strong issue that came out was that we may have to consider PPPs to ensure accessibility to water. I want to encourage good governance because sometimes corruption sets in. You will find that only a few people can access water, a few are working on climate change, and others are working in different sectors. As an old Member, I see which direction we are headed to. I see the good intentions and also the funding intentions. I encourage that our funding intentions do not override the public good. As we move towards PPPs, remember that Kenyans need to access water. I support the Bill."
