    "content": "The Municipal Council of Naivasha was to supervise the project through the office of the engineer. On 19th October, 2012, during a site visit, the engineer requested the Petitioner to construct a water borne toilet instead of a pit latrine. The resolution was forwarded to the Ministry of Local Government for necessary action, after which an addendum contract was signed to change the contract sum and works. The project was completed and handed over at a meeting on 11th December, 2014 during which it was confirmed as practically completed and structurally sound. On 18th December, 2014, a Release of Payment Certificate was issued to the employer to pay Kshs3,206,617. The Petitioner made several attempts in writing on diverse dates to the Principal Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development, demanding for payment. The PS in the Ministry of Transport, infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development, State Department of Housing and Urban Development has violated the agreement and condition of the contract addendum No.1. The Petitioner has made best efforts to have the matters addressed by the relevant authorities, including the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development and the Commission of Administrative Justice, all of which have failed to respond satisfactorily. None of the issues raised in the Petition is pending before any court of law or any other legal or constitutional body. The Petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate intervenes with a view to; (1) Investigate any unlawful and discriminative actions perpetrated by the PS in the matter. (2) Recommend that the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development to pay the contractor the agreed amount of Kshs3,206,617 as per the contract agreement and addendum No.1 together with the accrued interest at 14 per cent per annum. (3) Issue any further advice deemed fit to give effect to the course of justice, fairness, merit and safeguard public interest."
