    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to assure the hon. Member that we are committed to doing these bridges and completing them. It is true that this bridge was commenced on 2nd June, 2006 at a tender sum of Kshs58,301,653. The completion date was expected to be 2nd April, 2007, with a defect liability period of 24 months. Due to inadequacy of funds the project was not completed. We inspected that bridge on the 23rd of March this year to make sure that we were able to estimate the cost of the remaining works. I am also aware that there are 58 bridges across the country that were commenced and were not completed. I am also aware that there are many other bridges which were destroyed due to the recent rains. I have instructed my office that no new bridges shall be started until the bridges which were started long ago are completed, and until the bridges which were destroyed recently are also done or repaired, so that we are able to make sure that we complete what we have started as opposed to starting new ones on top of old ones whose work has not commenced. So, I assure the hon. Member that we are committed to completing all these bridges which were started across the country, including the bridge in question."
