    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The construction of the New Mitihani House has not been completed since its commencement on 3rd March, 1987 due to under-funding over successive years. It is in this context that the project was mutually wound up in 2003 on “as is” basis and placed under the Stalled Projects Completion Programme. The project is being implemented in a phased programme comprising five phases due to inadequate budgetary allocations. I want to report that Phase 1 and Phase 2 were completed and handed over to Kenya National Examinations Council in May 2006 and the facility is in use. The initial cost of the project at conception in 1987 was Kshs248,925,596.10. As I said, the project stalled in July 1989 at sub-structure level for the main office tower and super sub-structure level in respect to the printing factory and overall percentage progress largely because of inadequate budgetary allocations from the Treasury. (b) I want to assure the hon. Member and Members of this House that if the Treasury can avail the requisite funds on the basis projected, that project will be completed in its entirety by December 2012."
