Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Migori water supply was developed in 1956 with a capacity of 450 cubic meters. Today, we require almost 7,000 cubic meters of water. We have approached the ADB which has given us loans and grants of Kshs742 million. With this, we will improve the water systems and have ablution

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must be having plans for Homa Bay water project. However, it is good that I do not attempt to answer that Question because it is different. I can get the information for the hon. Member if he asks the Question. However, I would prefer if he comes for the information from my office.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the drilling is almost 90 per cent complete. But the actual operationalisation is yet to take place. We have received funds on emergencies and we shall make sure that residents start getting water as soon as possible. No particular estate will go without water for more than three days. We will also make sure that we get water boozers to supply water to Government institutions such as schools and hospitals.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is about regulating the water intakes which are actually licensed. The issue of water is very serious because we do not have enough water in the country. We have to live with this fact for a longer time. That is why every day we are reading about the Mau Water Towers and the danger it poses to our population. The issue here is that there is no water flowing from our rivers. The danger is that the next conflict will be water war. We will make sure that we regulate---

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the boreholes were located long time ago. I said they have 90 per cent drilled and it is only about operationalisation. However, it is not only Nairobi that is facing severe drought and lack of water, I would like to ask hon.

We are seeking for that information. We have asked our District Water Officers to give comprehensive reports on their respective ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Permanent Secretary is the Accounting Officer of the Ministry. If he directed so, then that is what should be followed. I will make sure that I take it up with him once I get to the office. We cannot take advantage of the prevailing drought situation in the country and exploit our people. So, if our people can afford Kshs2 per 20-litre jerrycan, that is how we will sell water to them. Otherwise, I will take up the matter with the hon. Member of Parliament. I will make sure that I call the hon. Member in ...
