    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in cities all over the world, water used in bathrooms and toilets comes through different systems and you pay differently. So it is possible that we charge Kenyans and persons in urban centers for use of water but then the water and electricity is available. Sen. Wetangula talked about Bombay which is now called Mumbai. There is no city in the world that has got more people than Mumbai, but their slums look so good that they have been given accolades for slum upgrading. Even if you acknowledge that these people are going to live in squalor conditions, they are squalor because they do not look like people living in big estates, but those people live in a place that is tarmacked, has electricity and water. We have distinguished other Kenyans by putting them in slums. There is a slum called Githogoro, which is in Runda. In the middle of billionaires you have a slum. Immediately after Lavington, Amboseli Road, Kawangware 46, there is a place called Congo that Sen. Sakaja knows very well begins there. The same is in Langata. Why do we have to distinguish Kenyans? Therefore, I support this but the recommendations and the proposals here will not make any sense if they do not end up in legislation that we can enforce. When I was growing up there was garbage collection. We used to have dustbins that we would leave somewhere along the road so that garbage is collected. It was never an issue. It should never be an issue. We should have places where garbage can be collected; we can have water, good markets and security. People are paying so much money for private security The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
