In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Apprise the Senate on the nature of the medical facility intended to be constructed on the 100-acre piece of public land given to the KEMRI by the Kirinyaga County Government stating the works to be undertaken and the range of services to be offered once the facility is complete.

(3) State any logistical and or financial challenges KEMRI may be having in undertaking the projects and measures put in place to address those challenges. (4) Indicate when the construction is likely to commence and the tentative completion date. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
