    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Basically, what I am saying is that many times big projects come from the ACP-EU negotiations. This is especially from the European Development Fund (EDF). We get projects for provision of electricity. May those 566 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 11, 2007 projects now be taken to the north. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a facility included on this Report; the water facility of the EDF. I do not need to talk very much on what I mean. Another hon. Member had talked about it. However, when we get aid for water projects, is it not only natural that places most deprived of water get priority? We know that 75 per cent of this country is dry. We know the areas that do not have water and yet when it comes to distributing money for water projects, what happens? It is a big challenge to this Government, but we need to be fair. We need to begin thinking of Kenyans who do not sleep because they look for water the whole day and night. Some of us, however, simply need to turn on a tap and there is water. That is the unfairness that goes on. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I would like to encourage my colleagues to read, enjoy and domesticate it. I beg to support."
