    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 114 of the Bill be amended ─ (a) by renumbering Clause 114 as Clause 114 (1); (b) in Subclause (1) ─ (i) by inserting the words “the national government and” immediately after the words “in consultation with” appearing in paragraph (c); and, (ii) inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (f) ─ (g) receive grants for onward lending to water services providers, counties and communities towards water services and water resources management projects for the under-served areas and urban poor, (h) establish and manage subsidiary funds as may be necessary for sustainable financing towards water services and water resource management; and, (i) in collaboration with relevant institutions, develop incentive programmes for water resources management, including disaster management, climate change adaptation and mitigation. (c) inserting the following new subclauses immediately after Subclause (1) ─ “ (2)The provisions of sub-section (1)(g) shall only apply to water service providers, counties and communities, who can afford the repayment of the funds advanced, and profits thereof used to finance water services and water resources management projects for the under-served areas and urban poor. (3) The Board of Trustees of the fund shall, following public consultation, Gazette the criteria for qualification for funding from the Fund taking account of considerations of equity and may, from time to time following public consultation, review the criteria.” The first one is so that the criterion for qualifying to get money from the Water Trust Fund is gazetted after public consultation. The second one is to appreciate further functions that allow that body to do onward lending of some of the funds that they will receive. Just to note, Members were very clear that they cannot be allowed to lend communities that do not have the powers to repay."
