The third issue is on projects taking forever to conclude. Now, several things occur. I hear the Kenya National Examination Council’s building has taken 37 years. Several things will happen. One, penalties are constantly charged for delays if it takes too long. Obviously, it means the price is many times over by the time this project is finished. The other issue is that a project managed in this manner will be relaunched like six times under the current regime. I have realised that we can relaunch a project over and over again when it takes too long. I propose that the Kenya Kwanza Government relaunches the project that has taken 37 years. Hopefully, maybe it can be completed this time because it has taken forever. It has taken too many years. Let me say that it is not just with the KNEC. We have also seen the Bunge Tower under the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). This building started ages ago. Members of Parliament are still squeezing in another House. We need to ensure that we finish a project when we start it. I think we have an opportunity to make some changes in law. The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act is very clear that you need to have money to complete The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
