    "content": "I am aware that we have lined up several dams that need to be done in this region. However, we cannot wait for the dams, which might take some years before you complete them. We are very desperate with interventions that can help our people. We have discussed with the Ministry since the new Kenya Kwanza Government came to power and we have agreed on several interventions on boreholes, water pans, small dams, et cetera . Since the Financial Year 2023/2024, when we discussed and agreed on how we can move forward, including the team going to the ground to survey those projects, nothing has happened since that time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we wait for the big dams, what interventions is the Ministry doing in Meru County to make sure that whatever we agreed is implemented? I can see all the officers of TWWDA in this House. Every time we are told that there is no allocation for such funds. Now that the Cabinet Secretary has indicated that there is some money which is coming in soon, how much is he allocating to Meru County? We need to move together in this country. Meru is one of the water scarce areas, especially, the Nyambene region and the lower zone of Meru County bordering Tharaka-Nithi. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
