There's what is called the Water Act 2016.
As a parliamentary bill,it was sponsored by one Aden Duale.
Remember this is the same Duale coming from a region facing water scarcity.
This Act is meant to make it hard for Kenyans to own boreholes.
For you to drill a borehole on your own land,
You need to pay for a drilling permit given to you after paying for and submitting a hydrogeological survey groundwater map.
Do you know where it gets even more scary?
That the government, will install a smart meter on your pipes, and charge you for every cubic meter of water you pump from the borehole you drilled using your own money in your own land.
In other words, you only own the soil.
If we do not revolt, we will be slaves forever.
