    "content": "This continued inaction undermines the principles of good governance, especially accountability and transparency, as enshrined in Article 10(2)(c) and Article 232(1)(e) of the Constitution, which require public officials to act in a manner that promotes efficient service delivery. Moreover, with the reported transfer of the project to the County Government of Nakuru, it is imperative to clarify whether this was done in accordance with the law. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works on the following: 1. The terms under which construction of the Olenguruone Stadium, which was being undertaken by the national government through the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, was transferred to the County Government of Nakuru. 2. Details of the contract sum for the project, including the total amount paid out at the time of transfer, the outstanding balance, an indication that the corresponding funds were lawfully and fully transferred to the County Government of Nakuru, and whether the process was done according to the law. 3. Why the contractor deserted the construction site despite having received public funds, and what legal action, if any, has been taken to enforce compliance with the contract terms or recover misused public funds. 4. Specific measures or plans that the Ministry has put in place to ensure completion of the abandoned Olenguruone Stadium, and whether the measures are in line with the national development goals."
