    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Ministry of Local Government undertook to construct the Nyansiongo Market on behalf of the Nyansiongo Town Council. In this regard, the Ministry awarded a tender for the construction of this market to M/s. Triplex Builders on 19th May, 2005. M/s. Triplex Builders commenced work on 19th May, 2005. The contract period was 78 months. The project was expected to be completed on 19th November, 2006. This project, however, stalled along the way when the contractor failed to meet his obligations. The contract was terminated on 25th September, 2007. By the time the contract was terminated, excavation works for the foundation and the laying of the foundation stones had been completed. Overall, works were 12 per cent complete. A total of Kshs7,056,252 was paid to the contractor as advance payment, leaving a balance of Kshs39,943,748. This is one of the projects funded on the on-line Budget of which was used to finance other ongoing works. The Ministry, however, is in the process of re-packaging the contract, with a view to inviting bids to complete the outstanding works."
