    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the first response is to explain why the implementation was moved from one agency to another. The agency that is now handling the matter is the North Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency. That agency is one of nine water works development agencies under my ministry. It was established by a Gazette notice in 2020. You were right when you said that it was allocated Ksh10 million in the last financial year. We are now in another financial year and it is still supported by the Government. The project will be carried out by the agency. Procurement was done by the Lake Victoria North Water Works Development Agency, but it has been agreed that the implementation of this project will be carried out by the North Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency. We will implement the project using the original design. The data available does not reflect the position of the Member because we are covering a population of about 103,186. You have said that 60 per cent of the project catchment area falls under Kakamega County. I do not think that we should profile these issues. Out of the 103,186 people, 55,000 are from Moi's Bridge Town, which is entirely in Uasin Gishu County. That leaves a balance of around 48,000 people. In total, the number of people in Uasin Gishu County who will benefit from this project is 74,552, which translates to 72 per cent. I have included an annexure to support that data."
