    "content": "projects across the various sectors under Section 32. This does not preclude the House from having more specific requirements for the water sector given the unique nature of the water services. Further, noting the role of WASREB as the regulator, which is crucial in ensuring these projects meet the highest standards. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the second issue of contention was the non-transferability of completed National Public Water Works to counties. The Committee on Mediation considered Clauses 4 and 6 and agreed to retain the provisions precluding the handover of the National Public Water Works to counties. You may be aware that Section 8 of the Water Act sets out the National Public Water Works, which are financed by the National Government share of the National Revenue, pursuant to the Public Finance Management Act and are intended to serve the National Government functions, hence the same may not be transferable to the county government. Further, some of these National Public Water Works are cross-county in nature and therefore it should pose an administrative challenge to determine which county to transfer such water works. The third point is that the Committee was able to agree on the issue of publication of standards to be set by the regulatory board on licensing of water works development agencies in the provision of bulk water services as proposed in Clause 5 of the Bill."
