    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for recommitting my Statement, which I came in shortly after you had dropped. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation regarding stalled and or abandoned infrastructure projects in Bomet County. Several incomplete and abandoned infrastructure projects in Bomet County represent a significant waste of public resources and have deprived residents of Bomet of the services and benefits they rightfully deserve. I would like to highlight the specific projects that have remained incomplete or abandoned between three to 10 years, leading to substantial waste of public resources. (1) The Governor’s Residence, which is in Mutarakwa Ward under Department of Administration. (2) Chesoen Ward offices. These are ward offices within Chesoen Ward under Department of Administration. (3) Kembu Ward offices in Chemaner Ward under Department of Administration. (4) Nyangores Ward offices in Nyangores Ward, under Department of Administration. (5) Ndanai Ward offices in Ndanai Abosi Ward, under Department of Administration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, those under Roads include: Saoset-Kapkirib Road in Kembu Ward; Kolongei-Kipsigis Road in Chepchabas Ward; Merigi Sot Technical Training Institute (TTI) Access Road; Mogoiywet-Ngainet Road; Chesumer-Sibayan-Chemobei Road in Kapletundo Ward; and finally, Kiswahili Bridge. This is one of the bridges that went viral in the media under Silibwet Township Ward. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide reasons leading to each of the projects remaining stalled, abandoned, incomplete and/or unutilized; (2) Provide minutes of tender awards and copies of tender advertisements and tender evaluation reports for each of the projects listed above; (3) Provide the Bills of Quantities (BQs) for each project and their implementation status and/or development stage, and outline the budgetary allocation, expenditure, payments made to the respective contractors and any pending payment; (4) State the timelines within which these projects are anticipated to be completed and or put into use."
