    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that about 40 per cent of the shallow wells sunk by the Kenya-Finland Western Water Supply Programme (KFWWSP) in Busia District are not functional. (b) The management committees of these wells do not receive any monetary allocation from my Ministry. The user communities are supposed to pay monthly water use fees and other charges as set out in their respective by-laws for rehabilitation, operations and maintenance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the recent past, however, some communities in the district have received financial support for rehabilitation of stalled wells from the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF), Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and some NGOs. Following the enactment of the Water Act 2002, the Ministry is advising the communities to seek support from the Water Services Trust Fund (WSTF) as well."
