"content": "The other day, I was very challenged when I saw a farmer in Nakuru, who is doing nothing other than digging drainages to direct rain water run-offs to his farm. Right now, he is making money, selling the same water to the community. I want the Ministry to know that, for the last six months, in my own house, I have been depending on rain water and even supplying to my neighbours. Why do we not go for such simple practical approaches that do not require intensive technology? We just need a simple tank, gutters and down pipes; we should encourage our people through a subsidised system of supplying tanks to be able to make use of this system. I want the Minister to think about this system. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I think the proposals that the Ministry has put before us are good, but let us see a little more investment in human resources. The Ministryâs technocrats and the water engineers are here. As my colleague said earlier, Lake Victoria South Water Services Board has a problem with engineers. I hope that the Ministry will look into that aspect, so that capacity can be built there. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
