    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member listened to my response, I said that we already have Kshs40 million for undertaking the feasibility study of this project. Once that is completed, this project will start in May, 2013 and it will take two years. The money has already been signed for. However, in projects like these, I noticed that there are so many other things that come up. We had one project in Bura that started nine years ago, but there have been so many complications even when the feasibility study has been ready and the donors have money. Sometimes we ourselves do not do what we need to do to ensure that work is done fast, so that people can benefit. The one I am talking about is funded by the Arab Bank. I do hope that this one will not have any complications. Since the money is available and it has been signed for, it is up to us, the Government, to let work be done. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation has gone through difficulties because of the work that we started to do three years ago which never used to be done before; there are so many interests that have shown up in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. Some of the work that ought to have been finished has stalled because of these interests. I hope and pray that Kenyans will start understanding the importance of the projects that we have embarked on and ensure that we provide water to the people, so that we reduce their suffering due to food shortage."
