    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was only laying the preamble of what I am about to say. I know Dr. Chris has challenges when he meets very intelligent people, like Dr. Ottichilo, challenging his wisdom. He does not feel very comfortable. Hon. Ottichilo is a governor in the making. He is a very serious person. As I said, when I was growing up, we had good climate and water everywhere. Today, a region such as Kisii which was known for water and was called “God’s bathroom”, has challenges of water. It is all because we have not managed our environment very well. For those of us who read the Bible, we know it says that God gave us the environment and he commanded us to take care of it. We have failed to do that. That is why we are going through the challenges we have today. The inclusion of the civil society as part of the Council is an apt idea. It is in order. The more the membership of the Council is increased, the better it is. The civil society can bring in the expertise from the world of study. That way we become richer as a country. We will have more information which is going to guide us in making better decisions to ensure that we are all inclusive. Ownership will be across the board.
