    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, we have already decided that we are now going to look at the counties because we need to bring these services closer to the people. Once we line up these counties, we are going to call all Members from the areas and see how suitable it is and how to connect the counties. My thinking is that we should have four more extra water boards to bring them to 12. That will bring people closer to services. About the availability of water in Nairobi, as you realize, we really had a long spell of drought. For that reason, I said that we should be careful so that we do not go the way we went last time. It is not as bad as it was last year. Water is not being rationed like last year. As I said here, about next month, Sasumua Dam will be completed and there will be no more water rationing because we would have adequate water. On illegal connections, this means that people are connecting water for themselves and we are working with the police and other arms of the Government to ensure that there are no illegal connections. This is stealing and we are working on that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, about the boreholes, they have been drilled and we will connect power to them. We dig the boreholes during drought because Nairobi City needs some services apart from water."
