Speaker, the Question is that I provide information on the state of desilting of existing irrigation canals and construction of new irrigation canals by the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) in the stated areas in Mboghoni Ward in Taita Taveta Constituency that has resulted in perennial floods in Kimorigo, Abori Lambo, Mwarusa, Marodo and Majengo villages in Mboghoni Ward. The Ministry, through the NIA, is rehabilitating irrigation projects in Taita Taveta County to resume optimal operations status. The works involve the desilting of parts of River Lulu, and the desilting of canals in Njoro-Kubwa, Kamlenza, Marodo, Kiwalwa, and Kimorigo irrigation schemes in Mbogoni Ward. The length of the river canal sections which are under rehabilitation are a total of 57.7 kilometres. I have summarised that below indicating where we are working; Lumi, Majengo, Afrika Kusini, Kamleza at the areas of Marondo, desilting of canals in Kimorigo, Njoro, Kiwalwa and Kimorigo irrigation schemes. These are six irrigation schemes with specific areas where we are working to rehabilitate canals totalling to 57.7 kilometres. We have already completed two of them. One is at 23 per cent, the other two are at 100 per cent and the remaining one is at 22 per cent. Work is in progress in the areas that are not complete and there is funding for that."
