"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am torn between supporting this Report and rejecting it. That is because if you look at the observations of the Committee and the recommendations, you will see that they do not tally. You cannot argue that in some areas, that is happening and then you recommend the opposite. The recommendations should come from the observations of the Committee. However, the Mover, hon. Affey, a man I respect, has conceded that they were doing armchair practice, getting, relying and trusting on the Ministers to provide information. So, the information given here is purely from the hon. Minister. The hon. Minister was in my constituency last weekend. She asked me what country is it that we lived in. Sometimes, I commend Ministers who are female because they have the feeling of a mother. They look at a place like Turkana and wonder if it is part of Kenya. So, it appears to me as if Ministers need to visit those areas. If hon. Ngilu had not visited the area before doing this Report, she would not have allocated me Kshs400 million and sunk 13 boreholes in the Turkana County. Out of the 13 boreholes, ten are not equipped. They are dry. We get boreholes so that we can get water. We do not drill holes so that we can bury something in them. As I speak now, in my home village"
