    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was going clause by clause to demonstrate that this is an illegality. We are trying to rewrite the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution through this mischievous amendment. Clause 7 confers additional functions to the WASREB, another entity controlled by the national Government. Clause 10 of these amendments, talks about supply of bulk water in counties and introduces WWDAs, previously, a preserve and domain of the WSPs that are controlled by county governments. The Council of Governors (CoG) made their submissions, which I have had an opportunity to look at. Why do we want to bring WWDAs to do the last mile instead of facilitating WSPs to do that because that is their constitutional duty? They have argued that because of the economies of scale that the WWDAs have, they are going to run WSPs out of business. If you look at the Constitution and how it is structured, we have failed this nation as a House. Since the advent of devolution, there are two sectors where we have not pushed for full transfer of functions. One is road sector and the other one is water sector."
