    "content": "(a) The proposed transfer from Nzoia River to Turkwel Gorge Reservoir in water deficit Suam/Turkwel River basin, both in Kenya. (b) The proposed domestic water transfer off 41 million cubic metres from Itare to Londiani Dams in Lake Victoria basin to Rift Valley Basin.

(d) The existing Thika-Chania water transfer scheme transferring 540, 000 cubic metres per day from Tana to Athi Water basins for domestic use in Nairobi. It serves Nairobi from Ndakaini Dam to Matara where the pipeline starts to Ng’ethu Water Treatment. It has been in use since 1994. The National Water Master Plan 2030 notes that for Athi Catchment Area to meet its current water requirements, inter-basins water transfer facilities from dams in other catchment areas of Tana Basin to Athi Basin are to be developed to supply domestic water to Nairobi and satellite towns where heavy concentrated domestic water demands are expected in 2030. As requested by the Senate Minority Leader, an outline of the number of mega dam projects that are being undertaken in the country and their cost are as follows:- (1) Mwache Dam in Kwale County will cost approximately Kshs36 billion in Kwale. The design is under review. I can see the Senator for Kwale County happy about it. (2) Thwake Dam in Makueni County will cost about Kshs22 billion. The procurement of the contractor is ongoing. (3) Siyoi Dam in West Pokot will cost Kshs5.3 billion. The implementation is ongoing. (4) Chemususu Dam in Baringo County cost Kshs5.2 billon in Baringo County. The dam is complete and water supply construction is ongoing. (5) The Itare Dam in Nakuru County will cost Kshs38 billion in Nakuru County. The construction of the dam embankment is ongoing. Thank you."
