(a) My Ministry is undertaking a detailed design of an expanded Awendo Town Water Supply. The existing water supply, which is partially completed, gets water from a borehole source that does not have adequate yield to meet the increased water demand for the town. River Sare has been identified as a reliable and adequate water source for the expanded system. However, my Ministry will drill and equip one borehole in this Financial Year 2007/2008. (b) Once the detailed design is completed and the cost estimate established, my Ministry will include the project in its forward budget for Financial Year 2008/2009. In the meantime, Kshs3 million has been set aside for drilling and equipping of one borehole."}
