    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am aware of the promise by the Right Honorable Prime Minister that the Government would drill two boreholes in Wajir South Constituency. I wish to report that my Ministry, in response to this request, has, through the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation, drilled two productive boreholes in Sala and Matalibah. These boreholes are in addition to one drilled in Ambole which had a provision in the current budget of my Ministry. The three boreholes have been equipped and are operational. I am also aware that Kshs300 million was allocated for construction of an irrigation project in Habaswein during the 2011/2012 Financial Year. Already water sources for the irrigation projects have been identified and necessary plans prepared involving development of three boreholes and a dam, which will be followed by installation of deep irrigation systems. The National Irrigation Board (NIB) is in the process of procuring a contractor for the work, and he is expected to be on the site next month."
