    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I rise in support of this Motion. I think this is one of the best Motions that this Senate has had to consider because it is a Motion about the future of Kenya. I, therefore, want to take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Zipporah Kittony, and also my friend, Sen. Chris Obure, who has seconded this Motion. We, as a country, have to confront the reality that water is a finite resource which, unless we protect it, this country is staring at a serious ecological crisis that can even have implications on its own security. In many of the places where you have seen war and conflict, there is sometimes a natural resource connection. Sometimes, it has to do with water. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion, therefore, comes at an important time when we are trying to use the new Constitution as a basis of relooking at our country and identifying the priorities that this country must deal with if we have to face the future as a united, prosperous and stable country.
