"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to reply. I wish to thank all Senators who have contributed to this Motion. The other issue I wanted to bring to your attention is the fact that sometimes contracts have no proper exit clauses. In case of poor performance, exiting a contract becomes a problem. The terms should be favourable to this country even when it is a loan. Those who negotiate for loans should be patriotic enough to ensure that our interests are properly taken care of. The same should apply to those who implement projects. For example, the road from Modogashe to Wajir has stalled for many years because of unclear circumstances. Some contractor took the Government to court and it took a long time before that was sorted. Time is money and it is expensive for a project to stall because the contractor cannot perform and the procedure for exiting is not there. That brings many issues. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply."
