    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to apologise that the hon. Member has not been given a written answer. Maybe, after I have answered, I will give him a copy. Otherwise, I apologise once again. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) In the last financial year 2008/2009, the Ministry carried out the following:- (i) We rehabilitated Olonguruone Water Supply at a cost of Kshs2 million. We drilled, equipped and did a replacement of a borehole in Keringet Town at a cost of Kshs2 million. (ii) We rehabilitated Keringet Dam with a storage capacity of 27, 000 cubic metres, under Kazi Kwa Vijana programme at a cost of Kshs1, 815,016, and we constructed Ngenda Tank with a storage capacity of 10,000 cubic metres, under the KaziKwa Vijana programme at a cost of another Kshs1,887,006. (b) Rift Valley Water Services Board will this financial year commission a consultant to design and prepare a cost estimate for an urban water supply and sewerage system for Keringet Town, and for the headquarters for the newly created Kuresoi District and thereafter, implement the project. However, as a short-term measure, the Ministry has allocated Kshs4 million this financial year to Kuresoi District. Out of this allocation, Kshs3.6 million will be spent on the implementation of Keringet Water Supply with stores from Kopkorest Dam, while the balance will be utilized on operation and maintenance costs in the district. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
