    "content": "Mr. Speaker, I rise pursuant to the provision of Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from a Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources on the status of multi-million shillings water project in Vihiga County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Disclose the terms of engagement between the County Government of Vihiga and the contractor, stating the terms of the project, the stipulated timeframe for its completion, the construction status so far as well as the expected date of handover; (2) State the reasons for the delay in completion of this project which was launched in July, 2018; (3) State whether the project was tendered, providing details of who won the award; and, (4) Provide a detailed breakdown of how the Kshs2 billion provided by the Government of Belgium to the County Government of Vihiga for the completion of the project, has been utilized. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement for the people of Vihiga. We are aware that the Government of Belgium sponsored this project and gave a total of about Kshs2 billion for its implementation. Four years down the road, the people of Vihiga still do not have water. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is absolutely important for the Committee on Land and Natural Resources to give us a response in the stipulated time so that the people of Vihiga can know exactly where they stand in terms of provision of clean piped water which was fully paid for. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
