    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. Since I am making my maiden speech, I would like to start by introducing myself to Members. Before I speak to the Bill, I would like to thank the people of Gatanga for electing me. I assure them that I will serve them well and bring all the necessary development to the constituency. The other thing I want to talk about is water. We have a lot of water which we pump from Gatanga to Nairobi, yet we do not have adequate water in Gatanga. This is an issue I am going to deal with since we now have a new project in the constituency which is going to bring more water to Nairobi. As residents of Gatanga we feel that we need a fair share of that water. Currently we only get 30 per cent of the water which is pumped from Gatanga. As Kenyans, when resources are coming from a particular place, we need to be mindful of where we are getting that resource from and mind the welfare of the people who are preserving that resource so that they can also feel that they have a fair share of it. The other thing I wanted to talk about is about NASA coalition. They have talked about demonstrations and the killings of Kenyans. I want to ask colleagues from the Minority side, since we have elected a legal Government, it is the right time you stopped those demonstrations and agree to work with the Government in place. We will support you. We have talked about NG-CDF and as Jubilee Government; we are going to provide you with enough funds to take care of your constituencies. We do not need to see more Kenyans dying. I want to support this Bill. It has provided timelines on which matters will be tackled and addressed matters to do with production of documents which was not happening before. The other thing it has addressed is the alternative dispute resolution mechanism. We have seen some matters taking a long time to be dealt with when they get to courts. I would like to commend the Government for bringing this Bill and for agreeing that alternative dispute resolutions will be used to solve matters when it comes to Public Trustee. In conclusion, I want to say that I support the Bill fully."
