    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Nyanyaa Water Project was implemented in three phases as follows: Phase I - Nyanyaa Community Water Project started in 1997 when the Egyptian Government, through the Kenya-Egypt Technical Co-operation Program sited, drilled and equipped Kusyani Borehole in Mandu Village, Lower Yatta District. Under that program, 100 productive boreholes were drilled in the whole country at a cost of US$5 million. The works were completed in 1998. Phase II – In 1999, the community organized a water committee whose objective was to distribute water from the borehole with the help of the donors. Advent Development Relief Agency (ADRA) Kenya, an international NGO thus replaced the existing submersible pump and generator with a higher capacity set. The DANIDA- funded Kitui Agricultural Program subsequently laid a 2.5 kilometer long, 2 inch rising main and constructed a 54 meters cubed masonry storage tank. Those works were completed in 2005. The total cost of Phase II was Kshs12,551,515.50. Phase III – In 2006, the County Council of Kitui, through the Tana Water Services Board, sourced for Kshs14,444,684.35 from the European Union and laid another 2.5 kilometer rising main, 10 kilometer long distribution lines to market centres like Tiva, Kalima, Konza, Kalivini and Nyanyaa, constructed, at least, five water kiosks, drilled a new borehole, installed a submersible water pump generator set and community capacity building. Another new borehole was also sited, drilled, developed in April, 2005, at Kiliko. It is 160-meter deep and yields 3 cubic meters per hour of water. It is intended to serve Kangundo and Kiliko villages. The works were completed in 2005. (b) My Ministry, through Tanathi Water Services Board, is planning to implement Phase IV of the project in the Budget for the Financial Year 2010/2011. The major works will include the purchase and installation of a submersible water pump and generator set for the second Kiliko Borehole, which is not yet equipped. The remaining works will be completed during the Financial Year 2010/2011."
