    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that electricity connection to Nyakach Water Supply was disconnected on 18th November, 2010 and re-connected on 4th December, 2010 after intervention from my Ministry. (b) My Ministry has paid Kshs1.9 million out of the outstanding electricity bill of Kshs2.4 million, and the Kenya Power and Lighting Company re-connected the electricity. (c) My Ministry will not disband the Board of Nyakach Water Company, which manages Nyakach Water Supply. Under the Water Act, 2002, the company was appointed by the Lake Victoria South Water Services Board to ensure efficient and economical provision of water services. The appointment was for five years, from 2007- 2012. However, due to high cost of operation and maintenance, the company has difficulties in meeting the costs of operation from the revenue generated. My Ministry, through the Lake Victoria South Water Services Board, will cluster the company together with others in the country to minimise the costs of operation and maximise the economies of scale, thus ensuring sustainability."
