    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Wakili Sigei, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding stalled and 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 the residents of Bomet of services and benefits they rightfully deserve. I would like to highlight specific projects that remained incomplete or abandoned for between three to 10 years, leading to a substantial waste of public resources. They include the following- (i) Ndanai Dam Water Project in Ndanai/Abosi Ward. (ii) Aonet Water Project in Masese, Singorwet Ward. (iii) Bondet Water Project in Bondet, Merigi Ward. (iv) Oinopset Water Project in Kapsimbiri, Merigi Ward. (v) Ondieki Water Spring in Kiplenjin, Kembu Ward. (vi) Chebangang Water Project in Chebangang, Kimulot Ward. (vii) Skutiet Water Project in Chesoen Ward. In the statement, the Committee should- (i) State reasons why each project has stalled, been abandoned, remained incomplete or is underutilized and outline measures and timelines for the anticipated completion or utilization. (ii) Indicate the individual budgetary allocations, expenditures and payments made to the respective contractors and any pending payments. (iii) Table the minutes of tender awards, copies of tender advertisements and tender evaluation reports for each listed project."
