    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Motion so that the Ministry is given the funds that they are requesting. I would also like to agree with Mrs. Mwendwa that this Ministry is number one, not only in importance but in performance. People in Lamu are very satisfied with the services of this Ministry. The other day, the Permanent Secretary was in Lamu where he laid a pipe to Manda Island which has never had piped water before. The people of Manda Island can now go and open a tap and draw water for domestic use. We are very grateful for that, Mr. Minister. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Lamu Water Company was recently granted Kshs10 million for rehabilitation of the wells and expanding the pumping capacity. We also thank the Minister for that. We are hopeful that if we allocate this Ministry these funds good projects likethese ones will be forthcoming from the Ministry. We are very grateful for the support given by the Ministry to our Lamu Water and Sewerage Company. We are grateful to the Government for coming up with the idea of devolution of water services to the district level. There are some people going around the country promising us that if they are elected, they will bring majimbo . We would like to inform them that the Government of President Kibaki has already given us majimbo type of Government through the water companies, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF) and other things."
