    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion by the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. We invited the Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation as the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation, so that we can deliberate on issues pertaining to Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP) on water and who can be regarded as a bulk water supplier. We rejected all the clauses which the Senate had recommended, except Clauses 9 and 10. Our rejection was because for us to achieve our water demands for irrigation and drinking, we need to give investors in PPPs enough room to invest, agree on water tariffs and negotiate with banks to pre-determine the break-even point. As a Committee, we could not agree with the Senate’s recommendations. The Senate did not give water agencies like the Coast Water Works Development Agency, the Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency and all other agencies room to allow PPPs. We did not agree on all the clauses apart from Clauses 9 and 10. I beg to second."
