    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to respond as follows- Outstanding works remain on the project for the upgrading to bitumen standards and performance-based routine maintenance of the Kijiauri-Nyansiongo-Raitigo- Metamaywa Road. The contractor, China Far East Construction Group Limited, withdrew from the site due to severe financial distress from the significant amount owed by him, amounting to Kshs856,981,424. I am cognizant of the fact that the outstanding works are critical for the safe usage of the road and constitute the installation of tertiary road features such as road furniture, speed bumps, road markings and signage. It is noteworthy that during road construction the sequence of activities such that the works start with the earthworks followed by pavement works and the tertiary features are attended to last. Unfortunately, the contractor in this case withdrew before carrying out the tertiary works as a result of the aforementioned financial distress. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
