    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. A request for the funding of the Olenguruone Stadium was made in the year 2011. The procurement process was completed. On 12th November 2012, a contract was executed between the then office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, and Twin Construction Company at the quoted tender sum of Ksh290,643,668.93 for a period of 24 months, with the intended date of completion being 20th November 2014. The scope of works entailed the construction of a perimeter fence, boundary wall, retaining walls, soccer pitch, four public dais, pavilions, driveways, parking bays, ablution blocks and other facilities. The above works were supposed to be delivered within the prescribed contract period, with the assumption that both parties were to be diligent in exercising their respective contractual obligations. However, this was not the scenario because over the entire implementation phase, there were payment delays. In fact, certificate No. 1 was delayed for more than one and a half years. Certificate No. 2 was delayed for another half a year. The above delay was in contravention of clause 23(3) of the conditions of the contract that stipulated that the employer shall pay the contractor the amount certified by the project manager within 30 days of issuance of each certificate."
