    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The reasons that made Rapido Construction Company Limited abandon the works before completion were: (i) delay in disbursement of funds by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA); (ii) escalation of prices for most of the road building materials; (iii) failure to consider contractor’s request for review of prices upwards; and, (iv) delay in relocation of services by Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited and Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company Limited. (b) Due to the abandonment, the contractor has been given notice of contract termination by the Council vide letter No.CE041/2008/2009 dated 17th July, 2012. The financier, the KURA, will take over the works after the termination of the contract. (c) The value of the contract was Kshs111,241,297. The amount paid so far is Kshs36,029,625 for the works executed. The contractor is not owed anything by the Council since he has been paid for all the executed works."
