"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is very brief. First, I want to commend the Minister and state that a budget of Kshs8 billion for the whole of Kenya is too little. The reason why I am saying that is because there is no substitute for water. When you look at the statistics in three provinces in Kenya, over 6.6 per cent of the people spend, at least, over one hour looking for water â that is the Rift Valley, North Eastern and Eastern provinces. That population is made up of women and girls. So, if we should aim to bring water to the households in Nairobi, Central or Western Kenya, where only 1 per cent spend less than one hour looking for water, then we would achieve what we had aimed in the 1970s when the song was: âTapped water for every household by the year 2000â."
