"content": " Hon. Speaker, the Ministry has given me a progress Report though we had asked the Cabinet Secretary to appear before us this morning so that we could invite the Hon. Member but to appear before the Committee but because of your ruling that we should cancel all Committee meetings because of what we had in the in the morning, he was not able to come. He gave me the following: The Ministry is in the process of putting short-term measures to mitigate the floods across the country and they also have long-term measures. The extent of the damages of the current rains is on water storage facilities. The Ministry is on high alert and is currently assessing the status of water storage facilities, that is, dams and pans. To this end, no major storage facility has been noted or damaged. However, most of the dams across the country are spilling and hence are posing a risk of flooding downstream. As of May 2024, all the Seven Folks dams comprising Masinga, Kamburu, Gitaru, Kindaruma and Kiambere were spilling. Further, the water supply intakes in Tana basins in Thika, Garissa, Athi Basin, Kiama, Kimakia, Mwangu and Kairi and in Victoria South catchment areas like the Dunga, Oyani are submerged. The water supply services areas affecting an estimated 400,000 people. In most cases, utilities such as the basins have adopted water rationing to manage the supply and demand. It is also noted that the following facilities have been affected: 1. Ololung’a Dam 2. Narok Sewer Manholes 3. Nairobi 4. Mara River 5. Garissa Sewer 6. Machakos 7. Mavoko 8. Thika The Ministry has given short-term solutions to address the current impact on the storage facilities. As earlier stated, the storage facilities have not been damaged but there is a lot of spilling which has caused floods downstream. Understanding the consequences of spilling, the Ministry has installed a real-time monitoring stations at strategic locations on the rivers to provide the status of water levels every day. This data is used to provide periodic advisories to alert downstream communities to remain vigilant for their safety. The real-time water level monitoring stations have been installed in the following areas. Lake Victoria North Basin 1. Sio, Busia County 2. Malaba, Malaba 3. Isikho, Kakamega 4. Wuoroyia, Ugunja"

Ewaso Ng’iro Narok, Rumuruti The Ministry and its State corporations are constantly monitoring the performance of the dams and water pans in the country, including private water pans. Water pans that show some level of distress are evacuated. On the long-term measures, the Ministry is mobilising resources through various strategies, which entail public-private partnerships (PPPs), water-sector climate financing, and social dams to construct climate-proof water harvesting and storage infrastructure to harvest water for flood control. The target is about 100 large dams, 3,000 water pans and 200 small dams. The plan is to increase the annual per capita water from 452 cubic metres per person to 620 cubic metres per person by the year 2025 and 700 cubic metres per person by the year 2027. To alleviate the perennial flooding within the Lower Tana Basin areas, that is, Garissa and Tana River counties, the Ministry is proposing to reroute the flood waters from River Tana through the canal to Fafi wetlands. The rechannelling of these flood waters will also be useful for irrigation during the period as well as for recharging the aquifers."
