"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have talked about the short-term measures. But for the long-term measures, we have a project of Kshs3.3 billion which is meant to augment and expand the existing water sewerage systems to meet the demand for such services for Kisumu City; that is, by 2031. This will include not only the flow of water, for which we are laying pipes of about 40,100 metres, but it will also be able to take care of the sewerage system for the whole of Kisumu City. The project of Kshs3.3 billion is underway and it will be implemented in phases. Up to now, we have spent Kshs430 million on short-term measures. On the issue of whether we should be able to draw water from Lake Victoria and pump back the water, it will be very costly. I agree with the hon. Member that the first treatment works were done in 1956, 1963 and then 1984. This is the first time we are taking seriously the issues of Kisumu City. After the intake at âKajuju Riverâ, we shall be able to pump in the 48,000 cubic litres that would rest the case. In addition, over the 600,000 people living in Kisumu City will be provided with water."
