    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I said that there is need for hon. Members to attend the next round of sensitization workshops being organised by the Ministry. The former Minister for Water and Irrigation organised a workshop during the reforms. We got the reforms on the way having been implemented. However, even then, hon. Members did not attend the workshops. There is a criteria used in appointing members of water services boards. The local councils are represented. Local authorities could be represented in the boards by town clerks or clerks to councils, treasurer, mayor or chairman to the council. That is at the council level. When it comes to representation at the individual level, the stakeholders may elect a resident of the area covered by the water company. One must have attained, at least, Form Four level of education and have some acquaintance with business management. Experience in various fields would be an added advantage, especially if he has technical know-how in the area of water. Above all, one should be a person of impeccable integrity, like myself."
