    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that My Ministry drilled three boreholes at Mindililwo Primary School, Kapteren Centre and Cheligwa Primary School in Keiyo North Constituency two years ago. (b) The boreholes had low yields ranging from 0.8m3/hr to 1.0m3/hr, and my Ministry recommended installation of hand pumps as is the normal practice for low yielding boreholes. However, when the hand pumps were purchased and delivered for installation, the beneficiary communities expressed their preference for motorized pumps. That caused a change of plans which contributed to the delay in procurement of electric submersible pumps. The boreholes have now been equipped with submersible pumps and will be operationalised once power is supplied by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company. (c) A total of Kshs594,200 was spent on the drilling of the Mindililwo Primary School borehole. A total of Kshs563,000 was spent on Kapteren Centre and Kshs614,200 was spent on Cheligwa Primary School borehole. Thank you."
