"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The number of boreholes drilled in Mwala Constituency since the year 2006 to date is 41. Out of which, 13 boreholes are still capped due to budgetary constraints. The list of the boreholes is contained in the list that the hon. Member already has. (b) To equip one borehole, there are parameters considered before arrival at the final cost like the depth, yield, head to pump, quantity of water to be pumped and the source of energy to be used. The civil works like tanks, pipelines and auxiliary works are also considered. The average cost to equip a borehole could range from Kshs1 million to Kshs5 million when the above factors are considered. My Ministry has funds under the Drought Mitigation Programme and the capped boreholes will be considered under this programme. (c) My Ministry through the Water Services Trust Fund has set aside Kshs5,398,814 for use to improve water services in Mwala/Wamunyu Water Project. Further, Mbaika/Mwasa/Kibauni/Wamunyu Water Supply will receive a further Kshs76 million for rehabilitation in the current financial year. The above will be achieved if the hon. Member will prevail upon his constituents to be part of the programmes that are on the ground."

I have personally been in one meeting where the hon. Member was with the former Member of Parliament of the area and where they were talking about these same water projects. I told them that this should not be brought to the meetings, but they should make sure that all these boreholes which are capped are equipped for the benefit of the people."

"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the policy that we have is that there are areas where we can only give people water through boreholes. There are others that we can give people water through using available rivers or streams. As I said, we consider various factors to see where we can get the source of water. It is different! As I said, a borehole will cost between Kshs1 million to Kshs5 million. In other areas, it may cost more, but we have to provide people with water. Like in the area of Eng. Gumbo, we could get water for Asembo Ndori region from Lake Victoria. So, we do not have to do boreholes in that area because there is a plenty of water from Lake Victoria. I think that is the policy he wants to know."
