"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kajwang does not have to belabour the point so much, saying that a Kikuyu contractor has been sub-contracted. It is only good that we ask questions so that we get clarifications but not just for political mileage. However, it is true that a company called China National Electric Wire and Cable Import and Export Corporation Limited was awarded the contract for western Kenya. We also have other two contractors, the Kapataru and the KEC in other regions. I want to inform hon. Members that also in my own constituency, there is an area called Tigithi, where Phase II of a project by a French company is supposed to have taken effect. It is also equally true that we were supposed to have commenced this work in 2003/2004, but actual commencement was to start with what I have said, way leave acquisition and consultant engineering, so that we could come to the actual contractor getting on site. I want to assure the hon. Member that we want to speed up this matter, and by the end of this month--- It should be noted that they have already started pegging, indicating that they will be on the ground any time. After pegging, the materials started arriving and by the end of this month, the contractors will definitely be on the ground."
