    "content": "(a) The development of Sondu River was undertaken in 1985 by the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA), which recommended a multi-purpose development, comprising of Magwagwa Dam, Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Plant and Kano Plains Irrigation Project. Due to the high capital outlay needed to undertake the entire development, the Government decided to develop a 60-megawatt Sondu Miriu Project since the Japanese Government had provided funding for it to the tune of US$200 million. The contract for Sondu Miriu was, therefore, for the power plant and not for the irrigation scheme. I believe, however, that the other projects have not been abandoned and ranking them was undertaken. So, the contractors on site were concerned with the 60-megawatt power plant and that is what they have completed. However, for the other projects, I was there with the hon. Member and they made provision for the irrigation project to be undertaken; so, I think it is the Ministry in charge of that which will take up that Ja nuary 22, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES"
