    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The company which was awarded the contract to gravel the 43-kilometre Kiptagich- Silibwet Road is BMK Construction Company Limited. The contract sum was Kshs49,086,600. The contract period was 18 months; commencing June, 1996. (b) The contractor did not complete the works as per the contract agreement. The El Nino rains rendered the provisions in the Bills of Quantities inadequate to gravel the entire road. A variation order of Kshs28,290,275 was procured and submitted to the Treasury for countersignature. However, the Treasury did not countersign with the reason that the variation order was not adjudicated by the Central Tender Board as per the procurement regulations that were in force at that time."
