    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had handled this Question sometime back but a few issues were raised which I had to address. One, the House wanted to know the status of the project across the country and also what the Ministry was going to do about the supplier to Gendia. (a) First, all the schools that were to be beneficiaries of the project received the computers, except for three schools. The project was accomplished except for Marii Girls Secondary School which has not received its computers up to today. That is because of the same supplier, M/s Bell Atlantic Communications. Also, Gendia has not received its supply by M/s Bell Atlantic Communications Limited. The third school that did not receive anything is Kilgoris Boys Secondary School in Trans Mara. The school requested for a change of project. The management of the school wrote to the Ministry requesting that they spend that money on construction. Even the Member of Parliament for the constituency came to the Minister and discussed it. It was allowed. It was done in writing though I have not brought the letters here. They wanted to construct buildings which they really needed, instead of buying the computers. Now, when I come back to the two schools which have not been supplied – Marii Girls Secondary School and Gendia – the supplier wrote to the Minister. The letter was addressed to the Permanent Secretary (PS) committing that it was going to supply the equipment within seven days from the date of their letter here, which is dated 30th July. (b) So far no supply has been made and the only option left to me is to take M/s Bell Atlantic Communications Limited to court."
