    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. 2624 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2008 (a) No, I am not aware that the rehabilitation of Pumwani-Kipanga Street (formerly Wood Street) in Eastleigh Estate has stalled. The constructor is on site but the following factors slowed down the rehabilitation process:- (i) We have the perennial over-flow of sewer of the construction works along Pumwani- Kipanga Street. (ii) The occasional dumping of garbage on the road by the residents. (iii) The post-election violence that took place between January and February this year. (iv) Some showers during the months of April. (b) The Government through the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company will take the following steps to ensure that the sewerage works system in the area is addressed:- (i) As an immediate measure, the drainage will be continuously de-silted to remove undesired materials such as plastic containers, stones and polythene sacks that have been dumped illegally in the sewer lines and manholes. The combined systems will also be cleaned regularly to avoid over-flow. (ii) Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company and the Athi Water Services Board have identified sections of the sewage system to be upgraded and the engineers have moved to the ground to survey and design these sections. These works have been earmarked to be carried out this financial year. (iii) The long-term plan is to separate the combine system into separate systems. That is, storm water and sewage wherein water will not be conveyed through the sewer system. (iv) The public will be sensitized to desist from discharging garbage into sewers and other forms of misuse of the facilities. (c) The rehabilitation project is, therefore, on going and has not stalled."
