    "content": "Most of the pipes are already leaking, despite the project not having been completed. The people downstream are and will be in considerable danger of being washed away if the embankment walls collapse, since the walls were not properly compacted. The contractor did not have an independent site engineer, instead relied on the Agriculture Department engineers, who were reasonably compromised. The contractor did not have an independent site office, making it impossible for any necessary intervention. The feeder roads passing through the project site were blocked, causing unnecessary inconvenience and accidents to the residents. The issues have been raised before the County Government of Busia, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the World Bank, but no solution has been given. The issues raised above are not pending in any court of law or any other legal body. WHEREFORE, your humble petitioners pray that the Senate- (1) Looks into the manner in which the award of tender for the Changara Water Pan Project was awarded to Berodi Company. (2) Investigates the misappropriation of the project's funds. (3) Ensures that those who violated the project's intended objectives face the full force of law. (4) Intervenes to have the project completed because it is beneficial to the community. The Petition is dated 15th September, 2023 and next to it is a list of the petitioners who ran close to some 76 individuals."
