    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, as a Committee, we take our work very seriously. Water is a devolved function, especially the last- mile connectivity. The National Government, through the Tanathi Water Development Agency, has done the pipeline, tanks, dams, and related infrastructure. The project was handed over to the Machakos County Government and is currently managed by Mavoko Water Supply. It is Mavoko Water Supply, through the County Government of Machakos, which is responsible for the last-mile connectivity. As a Committee, we have taken a position and asked the Ministry to acknowledge that the county government lacks the capacity and resources to complete the work. We are seeking to support the county government because the people living in Syokimau, Kanani, Katani and surrounding areas are also Kenyans who pay taxes. We are going to take deliberate action. In the 2025/2026 Financial Year, we will provide resources to Mavoko Water Supply and Machakos County Government to complete the last-mile connectivity for the people in those areas."
