    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Yes, I am aware that there is a big potential for a large multi-purpose dam at the intersection of Athi River and Thwake River. (b)After identifying the intersection of Thwake and Athi rivers as a potential dam site, the Ministry undertook design of the dam in 2008 and thereafter moved to identify potential financing sources. In this regard, the Ministry through the Treasury submitted a project proposal to the African Development Bank (ADB) for funding. The ADB has considered the project and has accepted to fund it to a tune of Kshs7 billion. An appraisal mission from the Bank will be visiting the country to appraise the project in March 2012. The project will provide water for irrigation, electricity generation and domestic water supply for many areas including Mavindini/Kathunima in Makueni and even the proposed ICT village in Makueni and Machakos."
