"content": "(Hon. (Eng.) Muriithi Mugaa): Thank you, Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members, for your questions. There was a question on Tigithi Water Project. I am aware of that project. If the Senator can allow me to give you a detailed status on that, I would really appreciate because I know the finer details are required, especially on that kind of small project of water supply. On the question by Sen. Cherarkey on Keben Dam, Keben Dam is a key project in Nandi County and we have already advertised this dam under Engineering Procurement Construction and Financing (EPCF). Evaluation is ongoing. We already have a consultant who is doing this and it is taking shape. EPCF projects take time, especially in evaluation and procurement. There is a question by Hon. Osotsi on 1,000 dams. This is what I have explained, the speed which we expected the uptake of PPPs in water which also couples with the question from Hon. Maanzo. It has not taken off. However, we have done a diagnostic analysis on how to make water projects, especially high-intensive, capital-intensive infrastructure, feasible to the Ministry. This has been a challenge that we are working to resolve because, as I said, our cost recovery tariffs are not in place. The question on Marsabit sewerage, I know that is ongoing and it has taken time. You are right. Allow me to give a detailed brief on the status of this. There is a question on Rare in Ganze. I know the challenges we have of water in Kilifi County specifically. Since we share a common water resource from Baricho that comes to Kilifi, it also goes to Mombasa, this challenge will be resolved. Apart from doing the Rare small dam, when we complete the master plan of Mwache in Mombasa, so that we stop the water that comes from Baricho in Kilifi, so that it is shared in Kilifi, Malindi and Mtwapa. So, on Rare small dam, I can give you a detailed brief exactly on the same. There is a question that has really come to the attention of the Ministry. This question has come more often to the Ministry on Maruba Dam, which is in Machakos County. Maruba Dam is one of our national urban programmes that we are running as a Ministry. The infrastructure has been done. The pending problem is land composition to the people of Maruba. I answered that question again in this House because we are in the process of the National Land Commission (NLC). Those are the people who evaluate and give us the amount to be paid. So, the allocation we require here from the government is to start paying these people in piecemeal."

Kavindu Muthama, that because we do not have the entire money to pay the people of Maruba, we plan to acquire those pieces of land piecemeal. First of all, you start with the sections where the actual works will be ongoing. This is because the remaining section will be the impoundment area that will be flooded. I am well aware of Maruba and Miwongoni dams. Maruba is already in existence. We will be tying the two dams together, Senator."
