"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister spoke to me a few weeks ago and I told her that the idea of doing boreholes in Nairobi and around the country is an immediate response to the current situation. The water table, of course, will go down and one of these days, it will not be there. But in the meantime because this is the only thing we can do to solve an immediate problem, there is a backlog in issuing of permits to people who drill boreholes. She was very kind and she told me to tell them to go ahead. I thought I could do that but my constituents who asked me and the others whom we interact with said: âLook, if you are in Thika, they will tell you to go to Machakos for a work permit. They will tell you to go after three weeks.â No driller of boreholes will agree to drill without permits for drilling water. So, may I ask again that perhaps the bureaucrats or â let me be kind, the technocrats â should move a little faster to look at that. I am definitely happy to be here to support this very hard working Ministry and Minister because we all really must support and push for a little more money because nothing we are doing will move forward without water. Thank you."
