    "content": "Environment and Natural Resources regarding the status of the construction of the Kikuyu Water and Sewer Project. In 2019, the Government of Kenya, jointly with the African Development Bank (ADB), and through the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, financed and initiated the construction of Kikuyu Water and Sewer Project. Consequently, the Government contracted a company known as Nanchang Municipal Engineering & Nanchang Foreign Engineering Company (K) Limited to undertake the construction work. The project has been going on with intermittent delays, stoppage of works and slow progress of implementation hence inconveniencing the residents of Kikuyu Constituency, Kiambu County, in addition to endangering their lives and the general wellbeing as a result of dust and other environmental hazards. Further, the contractor has deliberately caused destruction of existing roads and other infrastructure. Hon Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources addressing the following issues: - (i) Could the Chairperson provide details on the expected timelines for the completion of the Kikuyu Sewer and Water project? (ii) Could the Chairperson provide information on the scope of works contracted and the level of implementation to-date as per the scope of works? (iii) What measures are in place concerning relocation of water pipes, fibre optic cables, existing culverts and other infrastructures? (iv) What measures are in place to restore damaged roads especially in Thogoto area and Kidfarmaco Estates? (v) What measures are in place to ensure that there is value for money in the project by ensuring proper work standards are maintained? (vi) What measures are in place to prevent further environmental degradation especially of soil erosion, dust nuisance and general safety of the public during construction? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
