    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, while appreciating the efforts the Minister for Water and Irrigation is making to supply households with piped water, may I also bring to her attention the fact that some of the corporations and organisations under her docket are being proactive? The Ministry does not apportion its Budget on a constituency basis as some other Ministries, like the Ministry of Roads, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Education, do, so that each constituency knows in each financial year that a certain amount of money is going to benefit that constituency. In 2004, the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC) undertook a feasibility study on how water can be provided to my constituency. It was my expectation that among the many lines and branches of water that were recommended, the NWCPC, being a corporation under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, would take up one project and fund it. Would I be in order to call upon the Minister to consider whether she can fund one of those branches, if not all? Her corporation actually recommended them; for the eight years I have been there, I should be able to say that the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has funded a unit or a line of water."
