    "content": " Asante sana, Seneta, kwa swali hilo. Ningependa kueleza Maseneta kuwa kuna mashirika tisa ambayo hutekeleza kazi ya Wizara katika maeneo tofauti tofauti na Tana Water Works Development Agency (TWWDA) ni mojawapo ya mashirika hayo. Kuna pesa ambazo tumepata ambazo zitagawanywa kwa mashirika hayo yote. Kwa hivyo, shughuli zingine ambazo zilikuwa zimesimama sasa zitatekelezwa. Pili, wakati tulipokuwa tunafanya mradi wa Kenya Towns Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (KTSWSSP), kuna pesa ambazo tulibakisha. Pesa hizo zilitoka kwa African Development Bank (AfDB) ambao ni wafadhili wa miradi hii. Tulitaka waturuhusu kutumia pesa hizo katika miradi ambayo haikukamilika. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the KTSWSSP was being implemented, there is one component of the last mile that was not included in the design. Since, it is a small component of the bigger project, the expectation was that county governments would take over. Unfortunately, very few county governments have undertaken that. That is why the Ministry has undertaken to make sure that for all projects that do not have that last component, we will complete them using the savings that we got from that programme. Concerning Thiba Dam, we have plans to provide distribution of up to 30,000 cubic metres of fresh drinking water per day. Plans are underway to source for funding. Apart from irrigation, there is that component of having clean water for use by people who will be living there. So, the Ministry is looking for funding to make sure that is achieved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding Kibirigwi Farmers Co-operative Society, the issue of cooperatives is not under the mandate of the Ministry. Perhaps, the Senator should pick it up with the Ministry of Co-operatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) to know when it will be revived. I submit."
