    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to apologise for not being in the House yesterday, to answer this Question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that a borehole was drilled at Kilala Health Centre, Makueni County, in October/November, 2011, under the Economic Stimulus Programme. The borehole was equipped with a submersible pumping system and motorised. (b) The water situation at Kilala Market and its environs is really acute. However, residents get water from Mikangini Borehole. The Ministry has taken the following measures:- (i) improved the Ikakyua/Kilala Water Project, whose source is Yubani Springs; and, (ii) equipped one of the JICA (Japan International Co-operation Agency) drilled boreholes with a windmill pumping system in the current financial year. The borehole is located about 1.5 kilometres from Kilala Market. Both projects are ongoing, and they will be completed by the third quarter of the current financial year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition, my Ministry has purchased and allocated two water bowsers to Makueni County to be used for provision of water during the dry season. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
