    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would also like to join my colleagues to support this Motion. I would like to identify with the submissions of the Chairperson. Indeed, the issues are not weighty as my colleagues before me have said. But they are very important all the same. There are issues of definition, for example, the “wetland” which is not in the body of the Bill. That is why we rejected the amendment. That is something that is supposed to be addressed at the mediation level. The Senate has done a good job because they have introduced issues like the geo- referencing and monitoring information systems. That is something that we agreed on. It is a very important thing. We do not necessarily need to disagree on that one. When it comes to the establishment of water resource committees, the county assemblies have been given a leeway to ensure that they are the ones who approve. That is very important because we are giving the powers to the people who are supposed to have it. The introduction of the chair being a member of the community within the water basin is very important because this brings the management of the resources to the people themselves. Since it does not affect the CEO, it is something that should be agreed on. The only thing is that it should be very clear. The issue of the definition was the only problem. I think it will be resolved. The other problem that cropped and which we witnessed was an attempt to give regulation-making powers to an authority that it did not have. We did not agree because that is 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."
