    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that out of 30 dams in Ndaragwa Division, there are two dams; namely, Kwajora and Bondo, that are covered by floating weeds. I am aware that 28 dams are partly silted up. (b) My Ministry has been undertaking rehabilitation measures on dams and pans in Ndaragwa Division and other parts of the country aimed at increasing storage capacities of those facilities. Those measures include de-silting, construction of check dams and sensitization of communities residing near the dams on the importance of catchments and soil conservation. My Ministry rehabilitated Nairobi, Dogino and Buyu dams in Ndaragwa Division in the 2005/2006 Financial Year, at a cost of Kshs2,380,000 and Kshs2,550,000, respectively. But due to budgetary constraints, the rest of the dams were not rehabilitated. However, my Ministry has placed top priority on rehabilitation and construction of water dams and water pans in various parts of the country, particularly in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in which Ndaragwa is part of."
