    "content": "My Ministry, through LOWASCO, has put the following measures in place to ensure that Government departments and parastatals pay their bills to the company; there is issuance of cut off levels and follow up to ensure that bills are received and acted upon. There is also to be disconnection of water for outstanding bills if payment is not received within the agreed period. We will also use the task force comprising the District Water Office; the Rift Valley Water Services Board; and the Provincial Administration to follow up the matter and ensure that payments are made and disconnections are effected for all defaulters. These measures were put in place in July, 2007 and so far, Kshs2.4 million has been collected. We will also write demand letters to Accounting Officers of Government departments that have pending bills and impressing upon them to release funds to their departments to settle water bills."
