    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) Failure of water supply in Migori Municipality was caused by disconnection of power supply due to non-payment of outstanding bills of Kshs1,418,574,000. (b) My Ministry, through the Lake Victoria South Water Service Board settled part of the Bill, that was Kshs350,000 and further Kshs600,000 has been paid by my Ministry hence ensuring power supply reconnection. My Ministry also has plans to undertake the following measures to improve water supply to the municipality: (i) Intensity efficient revenue collection from water consumers. (ii) Purchase and install a standby generator for emergency power supply to the boreholes. (iii) Construct a new water and sanitation project for Migori Town that will serve a large population making operation attainable. The project will be funded by the Africa Development Bank (ADB) Finally, I wish to call on all water consumers country-wide to settle their water bills promptly to enable water companies to meet the cost of operations and maintenance."
