    "content": "There is one example which I have mentioned in this House before on a number of occasions; this is about the water from the Nol Turesh Water Project, which originates from Loitokitok. Foreign consultants who designed the water project did not know the local conditions there. They did not provide water for the locals along the line that runs through hon. Nkaisserry’s place. When I visited the place one time, I found that cows wanted to access the water but they could not. They lay on the pipe to feel the water but they could not access it. So, we were recommending that we must have troughs, which I hope they were able to install. They should build troughs there, so that the animals and the people there can access the water. It is their own natural resource but they are not able to benefit from it. That is the reason why we are saying that the Government must be alert. We must have people who are responsible enough to be able to know the reason why they have been given responsibilities in Government. We should ask ourselves why we are able to get maize from a country like Malawi. When you travel along this road to Naivasha and Nakuru, you can see what happened. Due to Africanisation, we decided to subdivide our shambas into small-holdings and when it comes productivity, we have a problem. So, it requires a lot of good management. The Government should avail the money but at the same time, we should be able to look into the future and see that we are able to sustain our population."
