    "content": "proceed to be a Bill so that we can get it working. People are waiting for the Government to supply water to them. When I gave my children portions of land, the land became very small. Each one of them got about two acres. They cannot do anything on that two acre piece of land without water. Water is now needed more than we used to ask for it. If the Government is not hurrying up to make water available to the people, food is going to be a problem in this country. Irrigation is now needed in western Kenya where we used to have rains. Now, it is not easy to rely on rain for farming. The Government must allocate more funds to the Ministry so that we can get irrigation everywhere. I also take this opportunity to thank the current Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Mheshimiwa Eugene Wamalwa for what he is doing. If more money can be pumped into that Ministry, I am sure everybody will get water in this country. I want to congratulate the CS for what he is doing for us, particularly in our region. We have the Lake Victoria North Service Board (LVNSB) and I do not know what they do. They are doing an extreme disservice to the people of western region. I strongly support this Motion. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
