created to split the KNUT. There is a Registrar of Trade Unions. He was not appointed to that position to simply register one union but he was appointed to that position to register as many unions as possible. In other countries, we have several unions. There is competition and freedom of choice everywhere. Monopoly should not only be in primary and secondary schools. This is an era of liberalization. To register KUPPET was in order and it was not a Government project. That is what I want to assure the House.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion. I believe that since water is a devolved function, all the money that we have under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources should be taken back to either the constituencies or the counties because we are aware of how money is misused in the Ministries.

There are water projects which are on course and I was requesting that I get something small to provide water in my constituency. I have heard that there is a dam planned for the western part of the country called Tongaren.
