    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are several residential houses in Kapsabet Town which started approximately 20 years ago, meant for public servants and stalled in the 1990. These pool houses stalled because the Government did not have the money to pay the contractors. (b) My Ministry commenced technical documentation with a view to completing these houses way back in March, 2007. The documentation has since been completed. But unfortunately we do not have the requisite budgetary allocation to be able to proceed with construction works. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this project falls under the stalled projects programme. Unfortunately, the funds allocated to my Ministry are not sufficient to cover all the projects as initially envisaged and what I want to assure the honourable Member of Parliament for Emgwen is that there are three such stalled projects for civil servants in various towns. There is one in Kapsabet. The second one is in Kericho and the third one is in Voi. I want to inform this House that the Kericho pool houses will be commencing this month and the other two, the Voi and Kapsabet ones, hopefully will commence at the beginning of the next financial year, hoping that funds will be provided by the Ministry of Finance."
