The overall progress to date is 73 per cent work done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in response to part (c) of the Question, the overall progress for the Mandera water project is 72 per cent, while the Mandera sewerage project is at 73 per cent. For the Mandera water supply project, the parties to the contract have currently agreed to mutually terminate the contract. A framework for the process has been agreed upon. The employer has constituted a claims adjudication committee for final valuation. The dispute has been referred to arbitration, and the proceedings are ongoing. In addition, the contractual parties are also at an advanced stage to enter a mutual agreement to separate. As regards the Mandera Sewerage Project, following the execution of the addendum works agreement by the contractor, an instruction for remobilisation and resumption of works was issued by the engineer. The contractor resumed work in March, 2024. Currently, some of the contractor's key personnel and construction materials have been mobilised to the site. The projected date of completion is 7th, July, 2024. The construction works are progressing very well. I think I can stop there and then I will answer the other question."
