    "content": "When talking about labour, I have always thought about all the street families that we have---. There are many of them in our townships and cities, especially Nairobi. Many a times have I wondered if they can make a home when taken to an irrigation scheme? I wonder if they can get enough food for themselves and for the market. That is an area that I hope that the Ministry in charge of social affairs will think about as we do dams or whatever irrigation. The youth and street families should be thought about. We should think of how we can use them or help them make their own living with dignity. As we think of food security and irrigation, there should be points where all the communities in those areas can get clean water. This is because public health is about clean water. There is no need of giving people food, yet they continue falling sick. We have to provide clean water for households and livestock. As this authority plans and executes the irrigation schemes, they should also put clean drinking water points into consideration. The planners of the same area should also allow the communities there to get clean water for themselves and their livestock. I cannot overemphasize the need for this Bill, authority and development because Kenya certainly needed it yesteryear. However, we are happy that it is here now. We should all embrace it. We need to educate our people and inform them that this is a lifeline for them and we should all take care of it. When some of these projects are put in a place, some people see it as a Government thing. It is not a Government thing. It is our thing and lifeline. I support."
