    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise for coming late. I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Kwale Dam in Komarock Location was washed away on 16th, April, 2006. (b) I am also aware that my Ministry officials did the work of design, supervised the works and issued a certificate of completion. (c) According to the technical evaluation conducted after the dam was washed away, it was established that somebody might have cut the crest to let the water flow downstream in order to reclaim the land occupied by the dam. That is because after the dam was built, about 20 families downstream and upstream were claiming that the land area around the dam belonged to them. In order to rebuild that dam, technical officers from my Ministry will visit the site and prepare a detailed report showing the extent of the repairs required, including cost estimates. After that, my Ministry will provide a budget for implementation in the coming financial year. However, I would like to appeal to the hon. Member to sort out local issues in relation to the ownership of the land."
