    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry started construction of the Nyakach Water Supply in 1980. It is a conventional full treatment water supply consisting of an intake on River Sondu, with water being pumped to low water rising main of 1.5 kilometers long into treatment works with a capacity of 6,000 cubic meters per day. The service area covers 152 kilometers squared, with a population of 190,000 people. The main areas served are Nyabondo, Katito, Pap Onditi, Sondu and East Kano. They also include Anding’o Opanga and Thurgem. The project was completed in 1989 and was intended to serve 100,000 people. (b) My Ministry, through the Lake Victoria South Water Services Board, used Kshs10 million in the 2009/2010 financial year to rehabilitate some of the critical sections of the water supply which had been disrupted and vandalized. Since the project cannot meet the current water demand, my Ministry will carry out a feasibility study and design for rehabilitation works and source for funds once the study is finalized."
