    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue I would like to raise with the Ministry at the outset relates to the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation. This corporation is the only organization under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation that has not lived up to its mandate. The National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation has been given a mandate to construct a number of boreholes in northern Kenya including my constituency in the last financial year. I want to say it clearly that none has been done. I would like to say again that there is a famous canal in my constituency called “Rahole”. That canal was supposed to take water from the river basin to the pastoralists, that is, between 50 and 100 kilometres. To date, equipment are there but nothing has been done. As I speak here, two of my constituents lost their lives under that project. I would like the Minister and the Permanent Secretary to look into the history and the status of Rahole Canal in Garissa District. Above all, this is the first time in the history of this country the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has given the resources that will make Mrs. Ngilu deliver her mandate. Above all, we are very happy and confident that the Minister and her team will live to the mandate of the Ministry. She did that in the last financial year and during the drought. I am sure if you go to the constituencies, you will find that access to water is a reality."
