    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Ndakaini Dam was constructed for a worthy purpose and that was to impound flowing water and ensure adequate supply of water to Nairobi during the dry seasons. The dam, therefore, contributes positively towards regulating flows in Thika River and Yatta Canal which otherwise put to risk human lives and property. (b) My Ministry is undertaking detailed design of Yatta Dam this financial year and intends to start implementation in the next financial year in order to ease water shortage in Matuu and along the canal. (c) My Ministry rehabilitated the other canal at a cost of Kshs39 million and undertakes July 2, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1529 maintenance of the canal. The main challenge of this canal is low flows especially during the dry season which will be addressed by construction of the Yatta Dam."
