    "content": "How we treat our water is also a key issue. So, it is not just about the water, but the whole package. Since the start of devolution, we at times wish to have tokens for water so that when you use and pay for it, you know the number of units that you have used. Nowadays you get a water bill even if you do not receive any water for a month. I agree with the amendments, especially those aimed at improving service delivery. First of all, when they were looking at the Bill, under Clause 3, they agreed with the proposal by the Senate on the requirement to subject the bulk water purchase agreement to an economic efficiency criterion. We have agreed on that but we are not asking ourselves what happens to the institution that has been running it. Where do we end up in this regard? Nowadays everything in Government is bulk. The Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) is very bulky. We have since migrated to SHIF but we have no idea where we are headed to. As Mheshimiwa said, water is life. Water is health. Accessibility of clean water reduces the prevalence of diseases."
