    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to speak about the Hydrologists Bill. I do not know the number of hydrologists we have in this country. Indeed, we have a lot of problems in this country. The biggest problem in this country is deforestation. Forests have been cleared. The laws of this country are weak because mwananchi can just decide to cut down trees without any permission. Many of our people are clearing the forests. That is why we have these big problems. The water towers are drying up. Every water tower, when you pass nearby, you will see that it is drying up. For example, I have seen River Nzoia, in our place at Cherangany, has dried up. It is a serious problem and the Government must take serious steps to protect the forests. Water has become more expensive than petrol. In most hotels, you will buy half a litre of water for Kshs300. Water is, therefore, like gold. The way the water is mismanaged in this country calls for us to have rules and regulations governing our water engineers and the people involved in water management in this country. A lot of water goes to waste. When you pass here The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
