    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I answer that we need to do another study on comparative study on the amount of rainwater that falls in Nairobi, I think that goes beyond the answer to the Murang’a tunnel. I will request the Senator to bring this as a substantive Motion so that we urge the Government to carry out the study and the findings would be brought to the House. Furthermore, it should be noted that when we talk about inter-basin water transfers mainly we talk about rain water collection. All the flood water that goes to the Indian Ocean actually is what is being harvested to be channeled into a dam for future use as opposed to taking water directly from the river for direct use. Having said that, I should also mention about whether there were any resentments as requested by Sen. (Dr.) Machage from Murang’a people. This again will come out very clearly from the reports of the County Government of Murang’a which was discussed with the Athi Water Services Board and which eventually went for debate in the County Assembly of Murang’a. All that process will come to this House because we are going to get the documentation and it would be clear whether their issues were addressed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question of whether the former Prime Minister did actually participated in the innovation of this project, I believe that he was the Prime Minister until March 2013 and all the documentation we are talking about here starts from 2012. There is another question which was raised by Sen. Boy Juma Boy. First, I am surprised you did not notice that Sen. Boy Juma Boy used very unparliamentary language saying the statement is a big lie. I do not believe that is proper and I need your indulgence."
