    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that was unnecessary interruption. I am entitled to my opinion. I believe that by the time we come here to discuss the issue of finance and sharing of revenue, the pressure on the national Government to send more money to the county governments will be very high. Especially on the issue of water, who has never read that there is a lot of corruption in the construction of water dams in this country? The process involved is very corrupt. Furthermore, the programme has always been concentrated in certain regions of this country. Who says that there is no dry place in my constituency? In Bomet Central, we have a dry area, where we need irrigation. The other day, I was interacting with some of my colleagues, who said that they did not want certain dam projects that the national Government had planned to construct in their region because they would displace people. The project involves a lot of money. They were talking about projects whose budget was about Kshs12 billion. I need these funds in my constituency because I want to provide water to my constituents. I would like this money to be devolved. The Department of Water in the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources should be abolished at the national level."
