Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for example, the Kshs10 million will deal with breakages and rehabilitation of pipes but that is just emergency. We require now to seek about Kshs1 billion to make sure that this problem is addressed once and for all.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the population of Naivasha has gone up over three times. As an emergency measure, we want to rehabilitate what is there. This is because you cannot issue funds for emergency for what is not already in existence. We also agree that because of the growth and because we have put in more facilities now, that will require new sewer lines--- In fact, everything must be now tripled. That is why we require over Kshs1 billion to make sure that Naivasha is safe.

This issue of Lake Naivasha requires concerted effort from various Ministries like the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, the Prime Ministerâs Office, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources so that it is sorted out. I agree with the hon. Member for Naivasha that it is a serious issue and we all agree with him. I am requesting the hon. Member to follow the matter closely so that we can make sure that the committee that will be working on Lake Naivasha will deal ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. 1. Tigania East Constituency has actually been allocated funds during the last eight years to the tune of Kshs43.9 million. Out of the total, Kshs37.5 million has been allocated to water supply projects and Kshs6.4 million was allocated for irrigation projects. 2. My Ministry is allocating enough funds amounting to Kshs25 million this financial year, necessary to complete Marega Irrigation Projects and this will be done as follows: i. My Ministry has allocated Kshs4 million through the Development budget; ii. There is another allocation of Kshs21 million through the Economic Stimulus Package.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you do agree with me that what the Member of Parliament is asking is a very different Question. We should be alerted early enough to it. However, I will table the list of projects that have benefited for the last eight years as he requested.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the farmers of Marega and Kunati are really hardworking. They have been allocated another Kshs2.5 million through the CDF; this was done two years ago. It will be the considered decision of the Member of Parliament and the water committees to float the proposal. If it will be possible for the Ministry to do so, then he can come and discuss it. We will also look at other legal implications. If it is doable, we will do it without hesitation.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion, first of all, because I have looked at the list of the Members of Parliament, and in realization that all Members of Parliament are equal. They have the same capacity and are equal to any task. Therefore, they can be appointed to any Committee of this House. Therefore, on the issue whether all Members of Parliament are qualified or not, I would like to say that they are all qualified.

We must support this Motion because we have fought to have the new Constitution for a long time. We went through the referendum and now Kenyans are anxiously waiting to see how it will be implemented. Some Kenyans want to know how the counties will be run and what will be the functions of the Governors and the Senators. The councilors are equally anxious because they do not know whether they exist in this Constitution. They need to see this legislation so that they are comfortable. We have 49 Bills and if we continue arguing over who is in this ...
