    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Yes, I am aware of acute water shortage in Kileleshwa Estate, Nairobi. In the recent past, we have witnessed some significant change of land use in Kileleshwa where single dwelling units have been converted into multi-dwelling units, some getting occupied by over 20 families. This has strained the water supply infrastructure in the area mainly by reducing the pressures in the pipelines due to high demands of water beyond the current carrying capacity. As a result of the reduced water pressures, some of the elevated areas including areas along Sugut Road, Makueni Road, Laikipia Road, Olkajiado Road and Kandara Road in Kileleshwa experience water supply shortage part of the week. In order to ensure supply at sufficient pressures, a weekly water distribution programme aimed to build pressure in the supply line is being implemented. This regrettably involves rational isolation and rationing of supply zones which is the best alternative in the current circumstances."
