    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving our ladies that chance. I do not mind. I want to support this Motion by my neighbour, Hon. George Kariuki. With the growing scarcity of water, climate change, rapid urbanization and the increased demand for water, water harvesting and storage becomes a very important aspect in our lives. This Motion calls for water harvesting and management to reduce water consumption, alleviate storm water runoff and provide drinking water for our people. I want this to be extended to the entire country and not just in the cities. Our country is blessed with rains. I once visited Djibouti and I was told it rains only once per year for hours and not for days like in our country. Unfortunately, here in our country the rain water goes to waste. Last night, I almost shed tears when I looked at a WhatsApp photograph sent to me sometimes back. One of my villages was suffering because a river was completely dry. Yesterday, I was sent another photograph of the same village and right now over 15 houses have collapsed due to floods. When I look at these two photographs as a legislator and representative of the people, I feel like crying."
