    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply and I would like to thank all the Members who have contributed. They have really given insightful contributions that I am sure will all be considered at the Committee stage. They raised about four issues on this Bill. One is the need to harness running water and other water resources for the benefit of our country. That has come out very clearly. I think the implementers of this Bill and the Executive should take this into account. The other issue that has been raised a lot is the need to protect our water towers to avoid desertification of our country. That has always been a time bomb in terms of protecting all our water towers. There is need to conserve and preserve these towers for the benefit of our generations to come. Thirdly, there is need to evenly distribute the scarce water resources to the people. That is why contributors were referring to what was termed as a lot of water sources in Turkana that was explored. There is need to explore and make it a reality. Finally, Members have talked about the need to manage and coordinate the sector very professionally within a legal framework that has not been there before. I think if those four points are captured very well in details, we will have done justice for this sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
