    "content": " Thank you very much. The process of terminating a contract term can end up being very expensive. Therefore, before we reach that level, we usually engage the contractor until when we cannot negotiate anymore. That is why we were giving this contractor more time. Also, it is good for us to know that there was the COVID-19 pandemic that delayed this project. We also had the master list that was delayed from the National Treasury. We looked at all these things combined. That is why we were always giving this contractor time. After we consulted with the contractor, we decided that the best thing was to terminate the contract. On the issue of the consultancy, the consultant is there and we are committing to say that since it is a five-year programme under the Kenya Towns Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation, this project will be complete before end of next year. I submit."
