    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as I would have liked more hon. Members to contribute--- Let me thank my colleagues, and especially the Minister who has shown interest in this Motion due to the plight of the suffering people in the rural areas. Those people deserve to get water. I request the Minister to consider including few people, at least two or three from the areas where there are water problems in the task force that she has constituted so that those people can be represented. I would like to commend the Assistant Minister for Regional Development Authorities because of the issues that he has brought up about people who are surrounded by water but they have no access to it. It is important for the Ministry to appoint directors from the areas that have conserved natural resources. The Ministry should also supply those people with water to encourage them to conserve forests and the environment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I commend the Government and the leaders, particularly the president for appointing a woman as a Minister in this Ministry. I am saying this because the people who suffer most due to lack of water are women. I hope the Government will always appoint women as the Minister for Water and Irrigation and the Minister for Health so that they can handle the problems of women. Women carry water like donkeys in the rural areas. If you visit the rural areas, you will sympathise with the way they carry water along the way. It is very painful. So, the person who feels it is a woman. I commend the Government for appointing a woman to manage the Ministry for the last 20 years. It will be unfortunate if such a Minister neglects his or her colleagues. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
