When you ration water, you ration it because there is a shortage. When Ndakaini Dam was constructed, the amount of water flowing downstream on Thika River was substantially reduced. What the Government is doing now is to construct what is known as “Yatta Dam”. What the hon. Member is asking the Assistant Minister is; can the Government consider putting up more dams downstream so that the shortage of water is contained?"}
