    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware there is a shortage of water in Loitokitok Town and its environs, caused by an increase in water demand which has outstretched the water supply. The present water production and distribution is 900 cubic metres per day, against a water demand of 3,500 cubic metres per day. (b) My Ministry, through Athi Water Services Board (AWSB), has engaged a consultant to undertake a detailed and elaborate study for development of water and sewerage system for Loitokitok Town and its environs, among other towns in Kajiado District. The study will identify the long-term measures and determine financial resources required for rehabilitation and implementation of water and sewerage facilities. My Ministry will then make budgetary provision for undertaking these works. As a short-term measure, a new pump has been installed to replace the broken-down one. We have also taken the broken-down pump for repair and it will serve as a stand-by pump."
