    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry has undertaken over 33 water projects in Mandera East in the last 3 financial years. The list of water supplies is shown in Annex A. (b) My Ministry through the Northern Water Services Board (NWSB) has considered and developed proposals for construction of two dams at Kamor, Golja and Dasheeq Ahmed Nur in Mandera East. The two dams each with a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters will harness flood waters during the rainy seasons for domestic, livestock and irrigation purposes. The proposal for the two dams has been presented to the development partners for funding and the Inter Governmental Agency for Development (IGAD) has shown interest in funding the construction of the dams once the designs are complete. As soon as the Ministry receives the firm offer of support, I shall inform the hon. Member appropriately. (c) My Ministry, through the NWSB, has carried out feasibility studies on development of a sewerage system in Mandera Town. The Board is currently undertaking a detailed design for the sewerage system and expansion of Mandera Urban Water Supply. The designs will be completed in this financial year, 2010/2011, after which funds will be sourced from development partners."
