    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir,in the report it was shown that Ijara’s boundary should be shifted from the three mile strip that is colonially set for the boundaries between the former Coast Province and North Eastern. I understand the issues that might have arisen to have such a recommendation put; the fears of hon. Noor that there are problems even with watering points and the like. I have also convinced her that even for us who are in Tana River District, and who have the river within our borders, we still have problems with watering points. It is because of the agrarian and livestock conflict because sometimes land belongs to individuals. I have convinced her that these are issues that will be taken care of by the riparian laws that will be put in place. Water is a natural asset that has to be consumed and accessed by all Kenyans regardless of where you are. This will now bring harmony between the people of Tana River and North Eastern Province. Although the border will still be the three-mile strip, people of North Eastern Province will still have access to the water. They will still have plots within the three-mile strip, but this happens to be part of Tana River and it cannot be taken away. I call upon hon. Mungatana to second."
