There is also that other issue affecting prison warders which needs to be addressed. I come from the trade union movement and those officers are working in an environment that is not conducive. One of the hon. Members who contributed talked about the Naivasha case. If you are working in that prison where that person is at the moment, you will not feel quite comfortable. There is somebody who was eating other human beings and enjoying their blood there and you are in charge of such a facility. That is not a conducive environment. So, there should be certain compensation ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Before I continue, kindly allow me to condemn the beating of hon. Magerer Langat, the ODM Executive Officer by the “men in black” who have just done it in the Orange House. This frequent whipping of hon. Magerer Langat by the “men in black” is uncalled for and should be condemned by all. I know that hon. Magerer Langat has opted---

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I was only sympathizing with hon. Magerer because he comes from my area. I wanted to express sympathy with this constant whipping by “men in black” in the Orange House.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for your directive. I will stick to that. I wish to support the current debate on the Water Bill. I believe the Water Bill is timely. It is geared towards providing guidance on how the water sector should be run.

Thank you so much. I am saying that I support the Water Bill because it is going to provide guidance on how the water sector should be run, owing to the current Constitution. The new Constitution came with different roles for different levels of Government. The national Government under our Constitution is assigned certain roles. One of the roles is the management of water as a resource to perform certain functions. Among the notable ones are; national public works, consumer protection and provision of adequate water. The county governments have certain roles of providing water services and sanitation to the ...

water or in those areas which are water catchment regions. I believe those will be well protected. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is also the issue of Water Sector Trust Fund (WSTF) which is captured in this Water Bill. I think this should be well supported so that water can be provided in all the sections of this country.

My greatest concern here is how the funds that are available in the Water Sector Trust Fund are distributed. Looking at the past, going through the reports on how water from those old resources has been shared, there has been quite some discrimination. A county like Kitui, where the Leader of Minority Party comes from, has been one of the greatest beneficiaries. In the last four or so years, it has benefited from funds to the tune of Kshs1 billion whereas a county like mine - Bomet County - has only benefited to a tune of Kshs11 million during the ...
