    "content": "funds, then there is nothing that has gone on in the ground; it is something that we must look into. I would imagine that building a dam is akin to building a contract where you do not pay the entire sum. You pay in stages; you get certificates for every stage that has been completed. We need a proper and thorough examination, because we will be taking the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet for fools if we announce that we are building dams and suddenly they are told they will no longer be built or they have been scaled down. This is an important matter because it may offer a solution to others. It is not just going to be Elgeyo-Marakwet, Kimwarer and Arror. Something is boiling similar to the case of Kimwarer in all these dams. Those who come from areas where dams have not been built and are in the process of being built, or where they are being built and have it stopped, do not laugh. It may be too early to be joyous. Maybe the same fate is waiting. Overall, my position is that the Government rather than arresting and prosecuting people, they should come and give a proper explanation. Taking people to court is not good enough for a Government which is elected. They should come and explain. The people they are accountable to is Parliament. The sovereign are the people of Siaya and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties."
