    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the delayed completion of Sololo Level 4 Hospital in Marsabit County. Sololo Level 4 Hospital, located in Sololo, Marsabit County, was initially a project of the Marsabit County Government. It was later taken over by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in order to facilitate its completion. Despite construction efforts spanning over seven years, the hospital remains incomplete, raising serious concerns about access to essential healthcare services in the region. Originally, it was scheduled for completion in March last year. The project has faced numerous delays with no clear communication on its progress. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide an update on the current status of the construction of Sololo Level 4 Hospital, including the hospital's total size in square metres; the percentage of works completed, pending tasks and reasons for the prolonged delay the revised timeline for completion; (2) Outline the original cost of the project, any cost variations over the years, indicating the total investment by the KDF towards the hospital construction, whether additional funds have been allocated towards the project, and the total estimated cost to completion; and, (3) Specify when the residents of Sololo will be able to access services from the institution."
