    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation is very important, particularly to where I come from. That is why today I felt I must not be left behind when the Vote of this very important Ministry comes to this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the people of northern Kenya, whom I represent, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, and all the water services boards are very crucial. On the outset, I want to thank the Minister and her able team, led by the Permanent Secretary (PS), for steering the reforms that were initiated in this Ministry. The people of northern Kenya have felt the importance of this Ministry, more so during the last drought. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say, on behalf of my colleagues, that the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in collaboration with other stakeholders did what they could at the time of need. The Ministry with its affiliate water boards came in handy in providing water trucking for both human and livestock in the last drought. It is the same Ministry and the boards that also provided fuel and spare parts for a number of community boreholes across northern Kenya. It is the same Ministry that drilled strategic boreholes as part of its mandate to the people of northern Kenya."
