"content": "African Development Bank (ADB). However, the contractor had slowed work from the beginning of August, 2022 as they awaited the resolution of the issue. Regarding the cost implication of the delays for Mandera Water Supply Project, the contractor has submitted two financial claims. Claim number one has been evaluated while claim number two is currently being evaluated. The other one, currently the project engineer is carrying out final measurements to determine the remaining works. This will enable the employer to repackage the works and re-tender before the ADB financing grace period scheduled to end before the end of next year. For the Mandera Sewerage Project, no direct cost implications as the contractor is paid for the works accomplished. It is good to note that the two projects were procured and are being implemented under a fixed works contract for works and consultancy services. Therefore, unless there are any other claims from the works or consultancy, there will be no direct cost implication due to the works. Honourable Speaker, in response to question (b), I want to respond as follows- The contract amount is as follows- For the water supply projects, the amount was Kshs420,147,030. For the sewerage project, the contract amount was Kshs1,523,674,239.87. The total amount is Kshs1,039,413,014.06 plus the addendum sum of Kshs484,261,225.81, giving the total sum of Kshs1,523,674,239.87.
