    "content": "(2) What alternatives have been put in place to ensure that 60 per cent of the residents who do not have access to clean water or connected to any piped water get it and at affordable rates? (3) What plans are there to overhaul the entire water infrastructure system, which is dilapidated and has contributed to residents getting poor quality water due to contamination, where we lose up to 40 per cent of the treated water through leakages and illegal connections? (4) Are there plans to increase the number of public water dispensing machines and boreholes especially, in the slums and informal settlements where the cost of water from private vendors is more than 20 times more expensive than what residents in middle and high income areas are paying? (5) What legal measures have been taken to curb the rising menace that has been perpetuated by water cartels, who are collaborating with some officials of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company to close key valves, thus denying residents of Nairobi City County water in order to sell it to them at exorbitant prices? (6) Are all water bowsers properly vetted and licensed to supply water that is fit for human consumption and use and to clarify the ownership status of Ndakaini Dam, which is considered a Nairobi County asset and the revenue generated from it? (7) To give a progress report on the Northern Water collector tunnel, which is meant to bring an additional 140,000 cubic meters of water daily and when it is going to be commissioned?"
