    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this very important and timely Motion. We have experienced a very dry spell in many of our semi-arid counties. We have lost livestock because of drought and lack of water. Therefore, I want to congratulate my colleague for bringing such an important Motion. I think we should not only emphasize that the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development should come up with mechanisms of water management, but we should also encourage the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to look into harvesting run-off water. Water is a very important necessity of life. As a country, we need to think of ways of harvesting and managing water. We should take note of the climatic change because, in the last five years, we have experienced short rains and after two weeks, they stop. That has caused floods in our roads and urban areas. Last week in Mombasa, people were displaced because of floods. In an area like Kitengela where I live, whenever it rains for short periods, floods occur which displace people and their property.
