    "content": "I was the one representing the Kajiado area and I left it for politics. It is of concern that the boreholes that I initiated to be drilled in various parts of Kajiado County are still pending completion. They have not been equipped. So, the people of Kajiado have not been able to enjoy the services that they should enjoy. Honestly, it is too long a time for that water board not to have operationalised these boreholes. I want to urge the national Government to think seriously of having major dams in all parts of the country. I have seen what hon. Ngilu, the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, has been able to do, particularly in the eastern region of the country; she has done mega dams. This has worked for the people of eastern Kenya, and even more than 100 years to come, people will still remember this good lady. I would wish to see similar dams done in arid counties like Kajiado and the northern part of this country. These are the places that are in dire need of water. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also need to harvest a lot of water that is wasted during flooding in the western and Nyanza parts of the country. You realise that studies have gone into the water regulation, and it is said that come 2022, major wars that will be fought in the world will be over scarcity of the water resource."
