    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support my good friend from Loima. The Petition before this House is very important because water is a basic human need, especially for the pastoral community. To change the nomadic life of the people of Turkana and pastoralists in Kenya in general, we need to provide water for them. It is very unfortunate that our people in Turkana have to cross to Uganda to get water. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, we will take this Petition very seriously to make sure that the people of Loima benefit from the natural resource of water. I also want to tell the Member that there is the Equalisation Fund whose Estimates the Leader of the Majority Party will table before this House this afternoon. In that Fund, there is an aspect of water. We encourage the Turkana MPs to utilise that Equalisation Fund so that the people of Turkana can have water. I support the Petition."
