    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the residents of Kikumini Location in Makueni District do experience shortage of clean water. The community has been depending on an earth water dam called “Harambee” which was constructed by my Ministry in the early 1970s but silted over the years. (b) My Ministry allocated Ksh3.9 million for desilting the dam in the year 2011/2012. However, the dam has water and we cannot undertake the desilting work. The money is still with our Ministry waiting the desilting. (c) My Ministry, through the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation has drilled a borehole, one kilometre from Kikumini Market Centre which has a yield of six cubic metres per hour to supplement supply from the dam. Laying of distribution pipelines to supply water from the boreholes to the area is currently in progress and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of the coming financial year. Further, my Ministry has been assisting the local institutions through water trucking especially during drought."
