    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The project for the construction of Kabarnet Bus/Matatu Park was awarded in January, 2004, to Kewal Consultants having been the lowest bidder. The contractor, having been duly awarded the job, commenced the work in March, 2004. The contract period was 15 months whereupon the project was expected to be completed in June, 2005. The project, however, stalled along the way when the contractor failed to meet his obligations. At the time of stalling, about 80 per cent of the work had been done on the project. b) The following steps have been undertaken to complete the project. (i) Due to Non-performance by the contractor, he was given termination notices as per the conditions of the contract. (ii) The outstanding works, which are about 20 per cent of the original contract, have been evaluated. (iii) Tender documents for the remaining works have been prepared in readiness for advertisement. (iv) The advertisement for the outstanding works will be done before the end of this month. Thank you."
