    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government, through the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, is undertaking rehabilitation and construction of dykes along the lower reaches of Nzoia and Nyando rivers to control floods. Several dams are also under construction to control and regulate river flows by storing water for use during drought periods. Of the five large dams currently under construction with a capacity to store 21 billion litres of flood flows, one in Kiserian in Kajiado County and another in Maruba in Machakos County have been completed. The other dams to be completed by 2013 are in Badasa in Marsabit County, Chemususu in Eldama Ravine County and Umaa in Kitui County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has secured funding from the African Development Bank for the construction of Yatta Dam in Machakos County and Thwake Dam in Makueni County."
