    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Manooni Dam was constructed between 1984 and 1987 with funding by the European Union (EU) through the Machakos Integrated Development Programme (MIDP). The Government undertook to provide land for the dam. In 1983, representatives of 75 families affected by Manooni Dam signed an agreement with the MIDP giving their consent for project implementation and extinguishing their rights to claim any compensation from either MIDP or from my Ministry. The signing of consent documents was witnessed by the Provincial Administration. The agreement had an inclusion clause which clearly stated that land or crop compensation issue, if any, was to be dealt with separately by the local project committee. In 1985, the land affected by the dam was surveyed by the Lands Department and the people affected by the project were identified. The Agricultural Department valued the total cost of crops to Kshs646,770."
