    "content": "On the Question raised about Migori, it is the unavailability of land for projects. We have plans, but we have challenges in implementing them because they do not allow nor give out their land. However, we have plans for Migori Town on the issue of water and sanitation. But if you like, you are welcome to the office. I will avail the technical people to give you more information on where we are at the moment. On the Question by Hon. Haika, the Women Representative for Taita Taveta, I can confirm that Mzima II is an independent project. It has no connection with the current pipeline. The good thing is that we shall use the existing wayleave for purposes of Mzima II. Therefore, we have no challenges to land claims or raps and, once we agree with the private investors who are interested, we shall be able to commence the project. It is a highly prioritised project. The old petroleum pipeline is not ours. We are working on the Mzima II. The Member for Chepalungu is asking when we shall do a tank. I do not have an answer as of now. However, we can give the Member an answer later. The construction of a tank is something the National Water Harvesting and Storage tenders can factor in depending on the volume needed. And within a year, we can accommodate that, even if it is planning and budgeting, and then we wait to secure funding. A Member wanted to know why the Kithimu and Muthatari Water Irrigation projects are stuck. This is something that I also need to be informed of by my team. I think it is just poor work by the contractor, but I would rather give the Hon. Member more information when I get it. I would forward the answer once I am furnished with it. We can avail that answer to the Hon. Member, including all the other interventions that we have been given. I, as a Cabinet Secretary, will ensure that those projects are completed. Is there any Member whose question I have left out? I think I have covered all."
