• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: is already with us. So, there is no need for some people to promise pies in the sky when we already have a pie on our tables. Lamu West is very satisfied with the provision of water. We have water at Wiwa in Witu Division and Lakwa in Mpeketoni Division. The only problem is in Baragoni where this year we need Kshs1.8 million to put up three dams and that village will be well catered for.
