Sunjeev and I strongly feel that it has come at the right time because of the problems we as a country are experiencing as far as water is concerned. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, water is life and we have got a lot of water but it is also scarce because of the nature and the way we handle water issues. During the rainy season, we experience excess water which becomes even a disaster in most parts of the country and during the dry spell the country appears as if it has not had any water for years. So, especially as far as Vision 2030 is concerned, this is the time the national Government and also the county governments should put in place structures and concerted efforts so that proper planning is done so that the water which flows during the rainy season is harvested and it can be used during the dry spells. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in doing this, it will be like killing several birds with one stone. When it rains, the water just goes down the ocean or to the rivers. In the process, it sweeps away all the top fertile soil and deposits it in the ocean where it is useless. At the same time, all the fields, shambas and grounds are eroded. Even our roads are destroyed and we start from zero gain. So each year, there is a budget for repairing roads and bridges which are damaged during the rainy season.
