    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to thank Hon. Mwadime for this important Motion. I have known him for a long time and being my brother-in-law, he has thought well to bring this Motion so that we can ventilate on it and see how best we can tackle the challenges we face in this country. Hon. Mwadime has rightly stated that water is a basic need. He comes from an area where most schools have challenges when it comes to provision of water. We are all facing that problem. Most of our school-going children do not have water in schools. The Government has done its part by providing electricity but water is a big challenge. As much as we aspire to provide clean water, I think it will be a challenge. We should improve this Motion to make water a basic need. It is quite unfortunate because most of the school-going children are now lining up in hospitals after contracting hygiene-related complications like jigger infestation. There is an NGO going round Central Province and other parts of the country dealing with jigger infestations. This problem will be sorted out once we provide water to our public institutions. Other diseases like cholera, amoebiasis and typhoid will also be dealt with. We must resolve that the Government formulates this framework. Members have ventilated on this and some have proposed that we should use our NGCDF, but the Ministry of Water and Irrigation can also help in achieving this. We should provide water to all public institutions for us to have a better nation. With those few remarks, I want to congratulate Hon. Mwadime for this important Motion."
