"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Studies were conducted in Lake Baringo prospect area in 2004, which falls within Baringo Central area. Since then, other service studies are going to be done in other areas namely: Kurusi, Chepkuk and Paka. Shilali is also earmarked for the same study this year. The Ministryâs strategy is to conduct service study in all fields then privatise them based on scientific findings for further development. Larger fields will be given the first priority. Results from Baringo prospect indicate a power potential of at least 200 megawatts. (b) Development of geothermal resources is a national programme and it is not divided according to regions. Allocation of funds for geothermal development is normally done for all fields in the Rift Valley system. Over Kshs5 billion has been spent in Olkaria 1 and IV, respectively, within the last three years. A total of Kshs120 million has been spent in Menengai, Arus, Bogoria, Krosi, Chepkuk and Parka Pills, respectively. This year, funds allocated for this programme will be used to buy rigs for drilling some of the fields identified."
