    "content": "We have a bigger problem in my constituency. When there is drought, people in my area get water from Nolturesh area, which gets water from Mount Kilimanjaro. As that water is tapped to my constituency, certain communities along the way tend to destroy the piping system to access the commodity. So, the water does not reach its intended destination. This is a big problem for us in Kaiti. We are not able to get water from Nolturesh, which is the only source of water in that area. So, I urge the Government to continue with its efforts of constructing water dams in that region. I would also like to point out that the Government has an ambitious project of supplying water in Ukambani area. I have in mind the proposed Thwake mega dam project, which is a Vision 2030 project. However, we cannot wait until the next 10 or 15 years to have water from Thwake Dam. It is high time the Government constructed small dams to particularly provide water to my constituency. We have a seasonal river called “Kaiti”. In fact, Kaiti Constituency is named after Kaiti River. However, there is no water in that river. The river is very long, traversing the whole constituency. This is the case and yet there are no dams built downstream so that, that water can be supplied in the constituency."
