    "content": ": Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry released Kshs20 million for the construction of Tuwani Bridge. The project was not completed as a result of exhaustion of funds that were allocated to that bridge. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hesitate to indicate that it is not the only bridge and they were done on emergency basis. The money was allocated for the construction of various bridges across the country. We have made a deliberate decision to place them under urgent attention so that we complete construction of all those bridges. Again, this particular one was occasioned by the variation of the size of the box culvert. We needed to have it slightly bigger given the amount of water that was flowing through that particular point. That significantly increased the cost of the project. (b) My Ministry, through the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), has quantified the pending works and is in the process of documentation and procurement of a contract to complete the bridge. We expect that the works will be tendered in the course of May, 2011 and construction will begin in the next financial year, which is next month."
