    "content": "I am only seconding the Member for Rarieda. Those dams were not taken care of. A germ got in there and the children started getting sick with Leptospirosis and 12 children died. What is interesting is that it took less than Kshs10,000 to make sure that the dam upstream had some chlorine in it. All we needed was a tin of sand with chlorine in it to be kept constantly there and clean the tanks downstream and the disease was controlled. In the meantime, we had used, in Webuye Hospital, Kshs35 million treating the people who were affected. A part from losing 12 young men because the water was not safe, we also had to spend Kshs35 million for something we only spent Kshs10,000 to correct. So, it is very important for water to be safe. Economically and health-wise, it makes sense. Therefore, as we go for that water, I support this fully. We must put in place management systems and water committees in schools that will be responsible for water."
