"content": "other Hon. Members have said, that is a rational cost. It is a cost that I would urge Members to provide in our budget. On the other hand, the issue of maintenance is something we need to discuss. I would propose several ways of maintaining such a facility. First, we can tell the school administration to be selling water to residents in the neighbourhood to obtain some premium. The money obtained can be used for payment of electricity bills and meeting the maintenance costs of the borehole. Secondly, we can vest the management of such facilities in water companies covering the localities in which the schools are. The advantage of doing so is that it will be easier to maintain the facility because you enjoy economies of scale. All the people being served by water companies will be sharing the operating costs of the borehole. In any event most of the companies have the technical expertise to ensure sustainability of the projects. I am giving these views because I am imagining that this Motion will pass since there is no opposition to it. I have given the idea of either vesting the management of boreholes of all facilities that are going to be undertaken---"
