    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry is constructing 211 markets under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). The completion status is as follow:- (i) 100 markets are practically complete and ready for use, representing 47 per cent of all the projects. (ii) 49 market projects are at the final stages of completion, representing 25.3 per cent of all the projects. (iii) 54 market projects have ongoing works, representing 26 per cent of all the projects. (iv) 3 markets are at the initial stages of development, representing 1.4 per cent of all projects. (v) 5 market projects are under procurement, representing 2.3 per cent of all projects. Full details of the markets construction are attached in Annex 1. (b) The Limuru Fresh Produce Market was initially awarded to a contractor, M/s Toplus Contractor, on 7th April, 2010 at a tender sum of Kshs10,236,490.80. The tender could, however, not progress to the signing of the contract agreement because the filled Bills of Quantities and other bid documents submitted to Limuru CDF in the bid were not forwarded to the Ministry of Local Government. Efforts to get them from the contractor, CDF secretariat and Limuru CDF office did not yield positive results. From the foregoing, coupled with the contractor’s demand for compensation caused the delays. That led to the review of the contract by my Ministry."
