Kingi","speaker_title":"The Speaker","speaker":null,"content":" Of course, it is totally misplaced there. The subject of that statement, though it emanates from police officers, but what that statement ought to interrogate are the dealings of a cooperative society by police officers. It has got nothing to do with security matters, and it ought to have gone to the committee in charge of cooperative affairs. Therefore, I direct that the matter be placed before the committee in charge of cooperative affairs, be taken away from the Standing Committee National Security and Foreign Relations, so that it can rightfully be propped in that particular committee. Hon. Senators, let us make progress. Now, I have Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda and the Senator for Nandi who walked in late after their business had been dropped. Now, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda has approached the Chair and explained his absence while the business was being called out, to the satisfaction of the Chair. I will, therefore, reinstate his statement. Likewise, I will reinstate the statement by the Senator for Nandi County, having explained himself to the satisfaction of the Chair. I will therefore allow Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda to proceed to read his two statements and thereafter, the Senator for Nandi County will proceed to read his one statement. Proceed Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda."},{"id":1547557,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1547557/?format=json","text_counter":91,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

Access to clean water is a fundamental right, yet many residents of Kisumu County continue to face acute water shortages, forcing them to rely on unsafe water sources, which pose serious health risks. Rural access and informal settlements in the county are particularly affected with the erratic water supply and inadequate distribution infrastructure, worsening the crisis.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."},{"id":1547561,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1547561/?format=json","text_counter":95,"type":"other","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"In the statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The current water supply coverage in Kisumu County, including statistics on households with access to piped water or treated water.
