    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that in the spirit of conservation of its dam, TARDA has planted 200,000 seedlings using the Kazi kwaVijana (KKV) Programme. We have spent a lot of money through the KKV programme in Masinga Dam alone. We have spent about Kshs20 million. Again, it is also true that KenGen has expressed the interest of increasing the height of the dam by another 1.5 metres. But the approval has not been given. The funny issue is that the dam is under the management of TARDA while the water in the dam is under the management of KenGen. Those two parastatals are in two different Ministries. We have been looking for a way of reconciling the two issues because in TARDA’s book of assets, the dam is appearing as its asset. So, we have formed a reconciliatory committee between TARDA and KenGen to find a way of reconciling that one. Once it is approved and TARDA gets compensation from KenGen, we will integrate the community in that compensation benefit. As regards the uprooting of trees that have been planted by TARDA, I wish to state that we will have to wait for the conclusion of the work by the team appointed by the Director of Survey. If we realize that part of the forest is in the farmers’ farms, we are going to retreat to where the boundary line will be put by the team appointed by the Director of Survey. Thank you!"
