    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation, I beg to reply. (a) M/s Bosco General Contractors was awarded the tender to build Mutyambua Dispensary which was funded through external aid by the Japanese (CPF) government under Vote D11 113, 335, 473, 401 Development Estimates of 1997/1998 financial year. However, there was no award for construction of the Mbenuu Dispensary. (b) The terms and scope of the work for Mutyambua Dispensary were as follows: Terms of contract - contract period - 36 weeks; cost Kshs9,458,564; commencement date - 27th March, 1998 and the expected completion date was 4th December,1998. Work stalled the same year; that is, in 1998. The scope of work were MTH block, waiting area, outpatient block, inpatient and external works. (c) The project was terminated through a mutual winding up between the contractor and the Medical Officer of Health, Makueni, on 11th October, 2001 when no more funds were forthcoming. However, the two projects were never captured when the Government was taking stock of all the stalled projects countrywide which is currently being handled by the Ministry of Public Works. The project was supposed to upgrade the two facilities to health centres. Since the project never took off the two facilities are still operating as dispensaries. The Ministry is in the process of liaising with the Ministry of Public Works in order to have the project completed under Government Stalled Projects Programme."
