"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, it is true that the water that comes to Nairobi from Ngâethu and, indeed, Sasumua dams, does not benefit the communities in the local area so much. Yesterday, I commissioned another big project in Sasumua. I realized that the people in those areas do not get water. I have made a decision, and, indeed, a policy that in every area that we get water, we must ensure that the communities living around the area get water before it goes to other places. That also applies to Masinga Dam. People in Masinga do not get water even though the people of Kitui and other parts of Machakos drink water from Masinga. In our designs in the past, we have not considered the communities that live around such areas. We have now taken that into account and we will make sure that people living around dams also get water."
