    "content": "who spoke earlier, said that Chelugui demonstrated a very high grasp of his water and sanitation docket. I am sure we all know that the biggest problem we have in Kenya is lack of water. Mr. Chelugui demonstrated that he is ready to serve this nation. He showed knowledge of Kenya in detail. I heard him talk about Murang’a, part of Loitokitok and other areas. He demonstrated that he was aware of the water need by Kenyans. As we speak, people in Baringo and many other areas are suffering due to lack of water. I would also like to take this opportunity to call upon those who are practising irrigation along the Molo River to stop the practice because the water has stopped flowing yet many people rely on that river. It is a long river. It is over 50 kilometers and many people depend on it but due to excessive irrigation, many of my constituents now lack water. We even have some schools to which we must supply water. I challenge Simon Chelugui to attend to this issue as soon as he is sworn in. I would like to see more dams and boreholes being dug in every part of my constituency, especially in Mogotio. I look forward to also getting services from the other Members of the Cabinet. Many Members here have talked about the other nominees. They have illustrious careers. Specifically, I want to call on Echesa. We remember the fiasco of Rio where our athletes were treated poorly; where they stayed in very poor shanty places after winning medals. We ask specifically the CS for Sports and Heritage to make sure that our sportsmen and sportswomen who give us a good name abroad are treated well and given the best. He has risen from a humble beginning but he now has what it takes to serve Kenyans. We want to eliminate corruption in sports. Therefore, I totally support the young man. He has shown he can do something good. I want to continue to support those who are saying education is not the end by itself. We want to see action. We want to see people who deliver. Therefore, I support the President in these nominations."
