    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to say I support this Bill and I think it has come at the right time. I am aware that there are quite a number of transactions and agreements that have been taking place in our country, and which would need to be rectified. This Bill, therefore, empowers Parliament to protect some of the natural resources that we know. I will start with the natural resource that comes from this country – River Nile. The source of River Nile is actually the highlands in the Aberdares. I can tell you that, that agreement was made before some of us were born. It may be necessary for us to revive some of those agreements. As it is today, any extraction of water upstream from River Nile, we must get permission from Egypt to the extent that it can even be a threat to the security of our country just because of treaties that this country entered into “donkey” years ago. I do not understand and I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
