    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has also been mentioned, with regard to the other category of 1070 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 four contracts worth Kshs8.6 billion, that promissory notes were issued. However, we are not aware of any promissory notes that were issued in respect of these projects. In fact, the way payments were being effected suggests that there was no issue of promissory notes. The projects in this category are: The Kenya Police Supply, Supply of Security, Addendum No.3, which was a carry-over from the previous Government; The Kenya Police Airwing Support Project II - Mr. J. Nyagah will tell us how they were contracted; The National Early Warning Security Systems; and the Kenya Prisons Service and Security Telecommunications Project. All these four projects amount to Kshs8.6 billion and no promissory notes that we are aware of were issued. With regard to the six projects where promissory notes amounting to Kshs25.1 billion were issued, the first one is the Forensic Science Laboratories, Kshs4.095 billion. This project was cancelled and the commitment fee of Kshs375 million was subsequently returned complete with the promissory notes. Second, is the Immigration Security and Document Control System for Kshs3.393 billion. It was cancelled and the promissory notes returned, complete with the commitment fee of Kshs93 million. Third, is the Export Lease Purchase for various security vehicles for Kshs6.75 billion. The project was also cancelled and promissory notes returned. A commitment fee of Kshs72 million was actually refunded. The fourth project is the Modernisation of Police Equipment and Accessories worth Kshs3 billion. This project was also cancelled. No payment was issued, therefore, there was no refund. The fifth project is the Kenya Police Law and Order, E-Cops Project worth Kshs4.478 billion. It was cancelled and a commitment fee of Kshs509 million was refunded. The last project is the Telecommunications Network for the Administration Police worth Kshs4.423 billion. This project has never started and is still the subject of protracted issues. No promissory notes were issued against this project and there is no refund because no payments were made in respect of this. So, when I say that the promissory notes have been cancelled, I am not saying that they have been cancelled by word of mouth. I am talking of promissory notes that have been returned to the Treasury and cancelled and are now comfortably placed in my safe."
