    "content": "that the Committee wants the House to note. This is so that you know that if NEMA does any implementation work, they have conflicts with the Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) at present. We intend to help end that conflict. The other issue that I have alluded to in the beginning is the fact that the County Governments Act (CGA) and Urban and Cities Act (UCA) need to be amended to reflect the issue of tariff setting of water services. As I said, the CGA devolved some of these functions erroneously to counties, yet if the Government is to meet its constitutional role of consumer protection, it does need to be the regulator to deal with the rest. Hon. Deputy Speaker, those are the issues that are in the Water Bill, 2014. The number of amendments is substantial but I believe that the Members of the House, after they read the Report will be in a better situation to support the amendments that we will be proposing in the House. With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask hon. Katoo ole Metito to second."
