    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that physical infrastructure, including buildings at Chiakariga (Tharaka), and which belongs to the Kenya Water Institute (KEWI) are presently not being utilized. A land ownership problem has delayed crucial investment in the Institute. However, formalisation of ownership of the Institute is being processed by the Ministry of Lands to facilitate re- development and use. (b) My Ministry has already initiated measures towards making the institution operational through a ten-year Strategic Plan - 2008 to 2018. The Strategic Plan will implement short, medium and long-term programmes in capacity development both in training and applied water research. The Institute plans to admit the first batch of students for long term courses in January, 2009. That will be after completion of major rehabilitation works planned for in the first half of this Financial Year 2008/2009."
