    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. It is important for us to know how water is managed and controlled in this country. We have a lot of running water. If only water experts, through this Bill, could come up with ways of utilising, managing, and distributing this water we would move a step ahead. We need to come up with ways of collecting water in dams and various facilities. This country has so many professionals but the bodies that manage them need to follow up on the laws that we pass in this House so that wherever there are issues in this country, we solve them. This country belongs to all of us. Even professional bodies are moving out of professionalism and throwing away what they know. They have abandoned their ethics and so they have forgotten that this country belongs to all of us. I will give an example of the Ministry of Health. Doctors are now crying for more money without realizing that they took an oath to take care of lives at all times. They should, therefore, avoid strikes that are bound to cause agony to Kenyans. When we enact this Bill we should ensure that the hydrologists who will manage the water industry should be professional. They should be ready to assist people in this country and forget about sideshows which are making us lose a lot of revenue as a nation. We are losing out on so many things. I support this Bill because it will go a long way in having the water industry properly managed."
