    "content": "The first one is for the Cabinet Secretary to explain. We have Rupingazi River, Thambana River and the rest of the rivers, but the obstruction goes to other constituencies, but it is happening in Manyatta Constituency. The projects that are supposed to provide water for Manyatta Constituency have stalled. These are Kilimu Water Scheme, Muthatari Water Scheme and Gateno Water Scheme. Manyatta Constituency residents do not get water. I would like her to clarify the reason, yet we give water to Kirinyaga County and Mbeere South Constituency. Hon. Speaker, I would also like to know the status of the said Rupingazi Thambana Dam that had been proposed in 2016 to ensure that the water in those rivers is sufficient for everybody and the residents. Can we expect funding soon so that we can supply our water to all those schemes? I would also like to ask whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that in the said river, we have close to 30 water scheme projects that take water to all those places whereas the river in the downstream level is unable to sustain this. Logically, among the issues the Cabinet Secretary has addressed on the measurement of abstraction in cubic metres, what is the progress on having the dams ready to provide water to residents?"
