    "content": "Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The truth of the matter is that the sewer line is aged. It is overloaded due to population growth. This area covers Muthua, the slaughterhouse, Mathaithi and Gathungu. It is an area I know very well. We are investigating whether this sewer is overflowing because of the seepage, especially due to the heavy rains, and when there is a power blackout. However, we have allocated some funds to the District Water Officer. We are already doing half-a-kilometre, 15 millimetre, diameter which will enable us to address this issue of overloading of the sewer line. It is also true that this situation obtains in many parts of the country whereby sewer lines were constructed 20 years ago and the population then was low. In the case of Karatina, this sewer line was constructed to serve 2,000 people. Currently, we have almost 14,000 people in the town. We are coming up with an investment programme or a marshal plan whereby we will upgrade all the sewer lines countrywide both medium and small size. It is upon this House, in conjunction of the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, to support us by allocating adequate funds to the Ministry to help us achieve our mission."
