    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party for the opportunity of two minutes. I rise to support. From the outset, I am very disappointed that while we are discussing such a noble matter, the House is almost empty. While we are discussing issues like NG-CDF or even matters of our welfare, I am sure we would be much more than we are. Direct to the point, I have heard many Members quote the Northern Water Collector Tunnel. I am speaking as a Member of Parliament from Kiharu Constituency from Murang’a County. While we are discussing such matters of importance, it is very important that we distinguish emotions and objectivity. I have heard almost every Member quoting the issue of women and men with jerricans from Murang’a, but there was another report on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which quoted many cities like Mexico, Jakarta and London which are likely not to have water in the very near future. Therefore, my issue is that we should address this issue objectively and devoid of politics. I agree that there is no water in Murang’a, but the issue is not about the Northern Water Collector Tunnel. It is the bigger picture that we have been debating the whole afternoon on the issue of protecting our environment. Even the kitty that we have as Members of Parliament, namely, the NG-CDF, it is very important for us to re-look at the 2 per cent ceiling spending on environment with a view of increasing it to probably 5 per cent. The issue of riparian land has been discussed."
