    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. The way the Motion has been framed gives great hope. The Mover of the Motion thought like an African woman, a mother and a grandmother. I am saying so because the need for water in this country speaks volumes. Sen. Kittony must have suffered and witnessed women suffering in this country. Since 1963 when we attained Independence, the blueprint for the then Government of President Kenyatta guaranteed or promised Kenyans that by the year 2000, every household would have tapped water. Up to the time the founding father of this country left Kenya, there was no homestead with tap water. When Moi took over, the promise and the guarantee given to Kenyans was the same. When Kibaki took over after Moi’s 24 years of leadership, the story was the same. Today we are being told that one of the top priorities of the Jubilee Government is to give Kenyans water. We have failed to control what God gave us. We have a country that never misses rain every year. We have major rivers that draw water from all corners of this country and flow into Lake Victoria and the Indian Ocean. I agree with you that Kenya is a unique country. We have resorted to drilling boreholes in areas where the amount of water which is being realized after drilling cannot be used by 200 people per day. You will find that such boreholes cost between Kshs8 million and Kshs12 million. Successive The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
