    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, take the case of the counties that are affected. They are the same counties which we allocate a lot of money every financial year. Take the example of Turkana County which we allocate Kshs11 billion per year. I saw the Governor of Turkana County last evening on television. He was not even ashamed to appear there and tell us that he is not able to supply his people water. What is this nonsense that we see in the counties? Out of Kshs11 billion, you can take Ksh2 billion to provide water to the people. What is the priority of these governors who come from these dry areas? It should be water. If you are allocated Kshs11billion, and you take the lowest percentage which is 30 per cent, that gives you close to Kshs4 billion per year for development. What is your priority? If you are a responsible leader and you know why you campaigned to be a governor, your priority should be to provide water to your people, if there is no water in that area. The water table in those areas is not very low but very high. People use manual means to dig wells. These governors should bring drilling machines and drill boreholes for their people because the water table is very high. They should start by providing water to the people. People are hungry and thirsty and yet we are allocating a lot of money to the counties. It is a shame when you hear the amount of wealth that has been accumulated by these individuals."
