    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Minister said, I do not have, of course, a written answer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter. I have a lot of respect for the Minister. This is an issue similar to that of the Mau Forest. The only difference is that Mau Forest involves - in terms of people who are affected - international persons. It is an issue similar to that of River Nile. You know how Egypt has seriously guarded the River Nile. The only difference here is that these people are poor pastoralists who have no voice other than this voice in this House. As an advocate of the poor, I know how the Minister has cried over the issue of jiggers that she saw in young children in Mombasa and other places. I want to hear a very categorical and serious action that the Minister will take, as a matter of urgency to save this river. In this House before, we have been told about water sector reforms when this Question came up. The people of Samburu, Laikipia, Wajir districts and the entire north, are listening to this issue."
