I appreciate what hon. Mbarire has said, but all the same I need to speak because we are here to speak on behalf of our people. First and foremost, I want to thank the Minister for Water and Irrigation, Mrs. Ngilu, the Permanent Secretary (PS) and other officials of the Ministry for the good work they have done. As I was seated here I asked the Chair: “Which Ministry is the most important?” of course, we have the Ministry of Lands, Ministry of Water and Irrigation and Ministry of Environment. The Chair agreed with me that the Ministry of Water is important."}
