    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, the investigation by the Committee has actually established that the Minister, hon. Ngilu has conducted herself above reproach by her actions. The actions that she took even before the investigations began proved that she had nothing to be blamed on. Equally so, I would like to tell the Assistant Minister that although his allegations have not been found to be correct, I believe that whistle-blowing is important. Each one of us has a responsibility to make sure that public funds are utilized in the best way. I can only urge the Minister, and all organs of Government that are responsible to make sure that public funds are utilized in the best way. The Government should take up the recommendations that have been put forward by the Committee and make sure that action is taken. Lastly, we have a drought situation in the country. It is more or less a famine situation. One of the biggest problems, apart from food, is the scarcity of water. When I first heard the allegation that the Minister had pumped more water into Machakos, I thought that this was a new strategy to resolve a problem in one area of the country and then move to another area."
