    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the update on determination of review of grants and disposition of public land reserved for Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company, we got a very good submission from the National Land Commission (NLC). Among the items that were listed from the answer include: First, the question asked by Sen. Kembi-Gitura in respect to Nairobi Block 90/599, Parcel No.596 in Loresho Pumping Station and Water Reservoir. The answer to that question is as follows: The above referred parcel of land is carved out of Plot No.Block90/229 which is a site for Nairobi-Loresho Reservoir, a major water distribution system. The subject land is a property surveyed, but untitled. It measures approximately 1.939 hectares in land area. The said land has been the subject of illegal alienation resulting in the creation of the Parcels Block 90/596 and 90/599 after consolidation of several parcels initially excised from it. Nairobi City County has only three water supply distribution systems comprising of Ndakaini-Ngethu-Gigiri system in which Loresho-Kabete system which supplies areas west of Uhuru Highway and Kikuyu springs water distribution which supplies areas around Naivasha and Kikuyu roads. Expansion of the water distribution infrastructure is likely to be concentrated on the existing systems owing to lack of availability of suitable public land for expansion. The Loresho land which is the subject of the inquiry has 11,000 cubic metres water reservoir where water is distributed as follows: One, to Kyuna Water tower from where it gravitates to Kyuna, Loresho, Gigiri, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Whispers Estates, Rosslyn, Muthaiga North and Lower Runda. Two, from the reservoir, water gravitates to Kitusuru, Spring Valley, Lower Kabete and adjoining areas. These areas have no alternative source of supply apart from the Loresho Reservoir. Pressure from urban growth and development has seen an increasinged demand for water in the areas served from the reservoir. The County Government has informed the Commission that there is a current programme of building another 11,000 cubic metres reservoir together with a pumping station facility on the said land to ensure adequate supply to the areas. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
