You almost caught me off guard. I was consulting with the incoming Governor for Kiambu County. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the Senate Bill. I want to support the sentiments by Hon. (Dr.) Pukose. I am sure you have heard a statement that is very famous which says; “water everywhere but not even a drop to drink”. You can be surrounded by a lot of water but have very little for you to use. I am saying this because there is a notion in this country that what is considered as drought or ASAL areas are normally evaluated by use of a small proportion of the area. A very good example is constituencies or counties that are considered to be in areas that have high rainfall. Allow me to start with Nyeri County because if I start with my own it will be seen as if I am being selfish."}
