    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) In the last three years, my Ministry has drilled and equipped 408 boreholes spread over the 210 constituencies as per the attached list. (b) I am aware that North Horr Constituency is an area with poor ground water potential. However, my Ministry has drilled 22 boreholes in that area and, so far, only six have been successful. That is at Turbi, Dosaocha, Chur, Chulwa and Bubisa, serving about 42,600 people and over 5,000 animals. There is also a water boozer in that area. (c) In this financial year, the Ministry plans to drill and equip three boreholes at Kwakwa, Dukana Division Headquarters and Gor Dasinachi Shagila along Lake Turkana. In addition, a 20,000 cubic meter water pan will be constructed at El Beso. My Ministry is also carrying out drilled geological surveys to explore deep ground water potential in the area to minimize drilling of dry bore holes. Ten more water pans are also planned for the area in the coming financial year."
