    "content": "Counties with regard to water. The water used by the people in Nairobi County comes from Muranga County. We are all grappling with the issue of rivers drying up, like the great River Chania or the great River Ruiru. When I was a small boy, I would not cross River Ruiru because I would have drowned to death. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a lot that we need to work on, because the Motion by Sen. Kasanga has brought a highly convoluted conversation. This is because it percolates this issue to the villages, so that people manage local knowledge and content, which feeds into the whole spectrum around how we can advance our economies, which are predicated on these resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, I highly commend this Motion. I hope that it shall pass and that it shall not just be another mere suggestion that was made by the Senate. I hope that the Executive shall take cognisance of the seriousness of this matter, and not to just filibuster about it or just speak well about it. I hope that the Motion shall be implemented. We have a political responsibility, as leaders, that when we pass such resolutions, we should follow through so that we create the interdependence between the Executive and the Legislature. This will ensure that the ideas that we get from the people and ourselves find residence within the body politics and structures of Government."
