    "content": "We set clear boundaries to their functions preventing any potential overreach into areas beyond their mandate, especially when it comes to the provision of water services at the retail level. This clarification ensures that their activities remain focused on the provision of bulk water services within the Public Private Partnership (PPA) agreements, which the county governments are involved in. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, finally, the proposal introduces stringent adherence to economic efficiency criteria set by Water Services Regulatory Board (WSRB), for all bulk water purchase agreements. This criteria ensures that these agreements are not only financially viable, but also aligned with the broader objective of national economic and stewardship consumer protection. By so doing, we safeguard the interests of the people of Kenya by ensuring that they receive efficient, reliable and effective water services. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, this will be a very important amendment because it will allay the fears that have been raised by our colleagues that we are taking this role from the devolved units. We have set the boundaries to which the WWDA can go in terms of the provision of water. I thank you."
