    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I July 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2293 beg to reply. (a) The contract for construction of Murang'a-Sagana-Marua Road was awarded to Kirinyaga Construction Company Kenya Limited on 3rd January, 2003. The works commencement date was 16th August, 2003. (b) To date, 37 per cent of the works have been done. The works which have been undertaken include shoulder rehabilitation, drainage works and pavement layers. The total length of the Black Top to date is 17 kilometres of which 7.7 kilometres is surface dressing. The remaining 9.3 kilometres is dense bitumen macadam. (c) The liquidated damages clause has not yet been invoked because the contract period has not yet elapsed. The works commencement date was 13th August, 2003 and the contract period is 36 months expiring on 13th August, 2006. (d) Since the answer to part \"c\" is not in the affirmative, no damages have been levied to date. My Ministry has in the meantime, issued the contractor with contractual notifications of slow progress of works and requires him to propose measures to expedite progress. However, the original contract sum of Kshs486,258,820 is being revised to Kshs980,773,690.60 after the Cabinet approved the design period of the road to be extended from seven years to 15 years."
