    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The following are the allocations for the MDAs under the purview of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources: 1. Ministry of Water and Sanitation has been allocated a total of Kshs41.2 billion; 2. Ministry of Environment and Forestry – Kshs16.1 billion; 3. Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife where there is the Wildlife Conservation and Management Programme – Kshs7.5 billion; and, 4. State Department of Mining – Kshs1.6 billion. The Committee, having scrutinised and reviewed the above proposed allocations, observed that the sector which is a critical enabler to the Big Four Agenda is not adequately funded. The water sector is funded heavily by donors hence the concentration of water projects in towns and urban centres. The Government, therefore, needs to enhance funding towards rural water projects which do not attract donor funding. The National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA) has a national mandate for bridging the gap between demand and supply of water, which is in line with Vision 2030. There is need, therefore, to operationalise the mandate of the Authority as envisaged in the Water The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
