(a) I am aware that Lerata Sub-location is served by three boreholes of which two are functional and in good working condition, while the third one that had broken down is under repair. Sere-Olipi Market is served by two boreholes, a dam and a shallow well. Fe bruary 3, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES

(c) My Ministry is collaborating with other Government departments and communities to repair the broken down pump at Lerata B borehole and the vandalized generating set at Sere-Olipi. The Ewaso Nyiro North Development Authority (ENNDA) is scheduled to drill and equip one borehole in Nkutuk Ongiron and rehabilitate Sere-Olipi dam in the current financial year 2008/2009. May I call upon the beneficiaries of water schemes countrywide to protect those facilities against vandalism.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member of Parliament should appreciate that we have been carrying out a lot of work in trying to get boreholes that can yield water. We have sent all our experts along that area to make sure that the next borehole that we sink will have water but that one cannot be blamed on us. However, we are also trying other options to see whether we can distribute water to the said area.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have an emergency fund of over Kshs500 million and all that we want is information from the hon. Members especially from North Eastern Province and other arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). They can come up with their proposals so that we can use this emergency fund that we have to at least make sure that they will not suffer especially during this dry spell.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that in 2006/2007 a lot of boreholes were drilled and capped and, therefore, they cannot yield water. We have the funds available now and we are going to make sure that in the next two months, all these boreholes will be operational.
