    "content": "Thank you Hon. Speaker. I arise to seek a statement, pursuant to Standing Order No 44(2)(c), from the Chairperson of Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources regarding the report of discovery of underground water in Turkana County. The report, already in the public domain, is that the Lotikipi plains, which is situated in Turkana West Constituency, and other areas in Turkana county, is home to huge volumes of underground water. We have been told it can last 70 years. These reports, if they are true, are going to completely change the way of life of the nomadic pastoralist communities living in that region of the country. It is also possible that it will change the lives of these people positively. On the negative side, it may make them vulnerable to individuals who may exploit them, if the results are not well planned for. In her statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following: one, the plans that the Government has so far put in place to provide water to the residents of this county, considering that at this time, there is looming drought which The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
