    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion. I believe that since water is a devolved function, all the money that we have under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources should be taken back to either the constituencies or the counties because we are aware of how money is misused in the Ministries. We have very large dams in this country, which the Ministry has been participating in their construction. Those responsible for the implementation of those projects have been involved in too much corruption. Therefore, I believe that the best thing to do for this country is to devolve those funds, so that the money can be shared out to all parts of the country. All of us need water. I cannot remember any water project having been implemented by the national Government in my constituency of Bomet Central. In terms of projects, the national Government is not being felt by the people on the ground. If you move round the country, you will notice that the impact of devolved funds is being felt. The impact of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is being felt. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
