    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I thank Sen. Murango because he was part of the Kirinyaga County leaders’ team who came to my office on 2nd August and we had an extensive discussion about all the roads that are being delivered in his county and the possible CSR programmes we are going to undertake. I wish to clarify that any undertaking of CSR is purely voluntary. Currently, there is no contractual obligation on the contractors to carry out CSR. Nonetheless, we confirm that several CSR initiatives have been undertaken in Kirinyaga County by respective contractors and projects supervised by the Ministry’s agencies. The details of the afore- stated initiatives are captured in the table below. For the Stecol Corporation, which is constructing the road of Njegas-Mutitu- Gatwe-Kangaita/Kiaga-Kianjage-Mukinduri roads, the following are the CSR programs it has undertaken: Leveling of Gatwe Primary School playing field, leveling of the Kiburi Primary School play field, leveling of Karindundu Primary School play field. For the Jiangxi Water and Hydropower Construction Company, which is doing Kerugoya-Kiandire-Gitumbi-Old-Kangaita/Baricho-Njegas-Ngaru Gakoigo all the way to Mukinduri roads, there is the construction of modern washroom at Ngaru Primary School, construction of a basketball pitch at Ngaru Girls Secondary School, leveling of the Ngaru Secondary School playing field and leveling of Kiranja Secondary School playing field. For the China Wuyi, which is doing the highway of Mutithi-Kagio/Baricho- Getuya-Kagumo all the way to Karira Mission Hospital-Ngurubaini roads; they are doing the construction of a dormitory at the Ngaru Girls Secondary School. I reaffirm that due consideration was made of primary and secondary schools infrastructure needs in the project following various consultations with the stakeholders. The contractors have since completed the listed projects and handed them over to the respective institutions. I thank you."
