    "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 Finance and Budget on a matter of national concern regarding the allocation and utilisation of public funds amounting to Kshs1.3 billion disbursed from the national Government budget in the Financial Year 2022/2023 for the expansion of the Dandora Wastewater Treatment Plant in Ruai, Nairobi County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nairobi produces an estimated 450 million litres of sewage daily, while the treatment plant has a current capacity of only 160 million litres. The 2022/2023 National Government Budget allocation included Kshs1 billion for the plant expansion and Kshs300 million for the construction of a perimeter wall. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following: (1) A breakdown of the Kshs1.3 billion expenditure, including contract details, procurement process followed, project milestones and the value for money analysis. (2) The status of the implementation, including the extent of the expansion completed at the treatment plant and whether the facility's capacity has increased in line with the initial objectives. (3) The rationale and cost structure of the Kshs300 million perimeter wall, including the design specifications, contracting entity and the certification of works completed. (4) Whether the State Department for Public Works and other implementing agencies involved in the works submitted periodic reports on the use of funds to the Office of Controller of Budget (CoB) and whether the Auditor General has reviewed the expenditures and ascertained whether the funds were applied appropriately."
