"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Amendment Bill on Water. As you are aware, Nairobi is a county that struggles with water and has many water-borne diseases from typhoid and cholera. We also have something that goes on in our slums and informal settlements where women have to trade their bodies for water because they cannot pay the cartels and vendors at one point or another. In the end, it is sex for water. Having PPPs to provide water is a perfect and intelligent move by the Government so that we do not expose ourselves to further debt. What I would like is to ensure that we have control of price so that the people in the informal settlements can be able to pay for water at a lower cost because, believe it or not, right now, some people in the slums pay more for water and electricity than people in the posh areas of the county of Nairobi. It is a good move. I support this Amendment Bill because water is life. Thank you."
