    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to second this Motion that the Ministry moves very fast to establish more water boards in this country, including in North Rift, which has been left behind for a very long time, without any water services board. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, taking into account that the region has a large population and taking into account that all the water that we use even down in the Lake Victoria, emanates from North Rift, it is important that more water boards be put in place, and this particular region should also be catered for. I also want to request the Ministry that we have had water companies in the country and some of them have failed members of the public. In my place, we have one called NYANAS. This has completely failed to deliver. Even as I am speaking here today, the electricity at Nyakach Water Supply was disconnected almost three weeks ago for a bill of Kshs1.9 million which they have not been able to pay to Kenya Power and Lighting (KPLC). Because of this, my people are going without water and I fear cholera outbreak is eminent. Many of the people will lose their lives in case of cholera outbreak. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more water services boards should be created around the country. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
