    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The drainage works for Olelung’a Trading Centre was to be undertaken in two phases. The first phase was to control the running water during the rainy season within the town, which became a nuisance and a health hazard. The public health and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) officials requested the county council of Narok to undertake the construction of drainage in order to control the direct flow of water to the Ololung’a River. The phase was fully undertaken and completed by 15th Novermber 2011 at a cost of Kshs1.85 million. However, the second phase did not start immediately as it required designing of works by the relevant Government departments. All that caused the delay in undertaking the second phase together with the heavy rains that were pounding the area. (b) The tender and design survey process for the second phase of the drainage from the end point of the market downstream to Ololung’a River will be completed by 24th September 2012. The second phase of the drainage trench running from the market stage downstream to Ololung’a River covering a distance of 1,058 metres will commence on 27th September and be completed within 60 working days at a cost of Kshs3.2 million. The expenditure is captured in the council budget for the Financial Year 2012/2013."
