    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First and foremost, I would like to thank my colleague for asking this question. For your information, I am the area Member of Parliament. This project is extremely important to the people of Mandera Town. It only affects Mandera Town, and not the entire county. It will benefit more than 200,000 families. This project has been ongoing for the last four or five years. Unfortunately, there are issues that we cannot avoid like insecurity, flooding, and extra jobs that normally arise. Most of these jobs are carried out by experts from other parts of the country and not locals from Mandera County. You know of the security problems in Mandera. Sometimes all the non-locals run away, and yet the job cannot continue without them. That has affected the project severally. Sometimes when River Dawa floods, the project cannot continue. There are also extra jobs that normally arise outside the agreement which have to be done. Some claims normally arise from those extra jobs. So, delays are always expected, especially in Mandera, where there are issues to do with security, flooding, and extra jobs that arise. I am sure that since the Cabinet Secretary is a performer, she has done her part. However, there are issues expected to arise."
