    "content": " Hon. Speaker, let me go straight to acknowledging delay in completion of the said Doldol-Nanyuki Road in Laikipia Constituency caused by non-performance by the contractor who was engaged to do the works. Shibli Enterprise Limited has been slow in the process. We have had several meetings to engage him to expedite the works. I had a meeting about this with Hon. Sarah Korere. We are working on ensuring that we accelerate that work and even provide enough funds to address the pending bill on this road. Two management meetings have been held with the contractor. They were asked to go back to site and resume works. However, they have not heeded the call. Therefore, the employer will seek recourse on the next step of action according to the contract’s terms. The scope included the following: 1. Site clearance to include heavy bush clearing, tree and stump removal, evacuation and filling for structures. 2. Culverts and drainage works to include majorly new culvert installation. 3. Grading and gravelling works to include light grading of the whole section and spot gravelling. 4. Road furniture repairs maintenance to include installation of 20 concrete bollards. The contractor has no outstanding payment. I am sorry I indicated that they had outstanding payment. I think the point was that we discussed the funds allocated to the road with Mheshimiwa. Mheshimiwa, we need to have another cup of tea. Regarding the Mbaraki Stadium, I have worked very closely with Hon. Osoro and Hon. Faith Gitau. Today, its progress is 80 per cent complete. We have small challenges with the sitting area and common amenities like toilets and changing rooms."
