    "content": "So, it will be in order if the Ministry considered creating a water service board for the areas covering Embu, Mbeere and Meru, so that services can come closer home. It is not easy for us to travel all the way to Nyeri. It can be very difficult to deliver some of the services. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that I want to cover is that of the water companies. I support the move by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to try and amalgamate the various water companies into bigger institutions. That way, we will be able to benefit from economies of scale. Let the formation of these water companies be inclusive, that is from down upwards, in terms of their formation. What has happened is that water users have no direct linkage to these companies. People do not know where they were formed, or who determines who becomes a director. There are issues around the management of these water companies. Some of the directors are self-appointed. They have absolutely no mandate from the people they serve. They behave more or less like private companies, where they owe nobody explanation as to how they function. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
