    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, about four months ago, I made a similar request. In particular we had an issue with one of the contractors who is also doing work in my constituency. From the list tabled by the Minister, it is surprising to note that there is one contractor who has been awarded three contracts at the same time. That is M/s Rikori, Building and Civil Engineering Construction Company that is doing work in my constituency, Eldoret South and Mosop. Apart from that, we understand that the same contractor is doing the construction of the district headquarters in Trans-Nzoia East and in Kacheliba. What is of concern is that this contractor, in all the contracts that he has been awarded, the status of work to date is only five per cent and, yet it is the same Ministry that has given the rules that no one contractor will be given more than two contracts. Mr. Minister, what happens in this case? Are you confirming that, actually, there are cases of allegations of corruption in your Ministry?"
