    "content": "I also want to speak on the issue of incomplete and stalled projects. In this Report, we have enumerated various projects that have stalled for a long period. Others stalled with corruption allegations. They include the famous Arror and Kimwarer dams, in respect of which the contractor is demanding Kshs4.29 billion. It is unfair and unjust to deny people projects on allegations of corruption. What we need to do is that as investigations and prosecutions go on, the projects need to be implemented. It is unfair. It looks like all we need to do to deny people projects is make an allegation of corruption and then we stop that project. So, this House needs to make a resolution to have these dam projects implemented. We have various stalled projects which we have recommended year in, year out. An example is the National Employment Promotion Centre in Kabete. This project has been pending for a long time. We have allegations of that land having been grabbed. It is time we made a resolution to complete the projects."
