    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 12th June, 2015, M/s Vill Ltd, the contractor, went to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague about this contract. The court directed that the matter be settled amicably. The contractor then applied to the Government of Kenya that he had no problem leaving the site. That was in June. This is November and the money being spent is from the World Bank. The Jubilee Government has refused to send a representative to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague to respond to the appeal by the contractor that he wants to move so as to allow other contractors to move on site. The Government has time to take Government officials to The Hague to deal with the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues and not development issues. Could the Chairperson tell us what it is that the people of this region want to pay to the Government so that representatives are sent to respond to the appeal so that the contractor can build the road for us? Finally, I have received photographs of a grader at Lubao Market. This is a grader being driven on the road. In fact, it has met a matatu on the road and there is a boy walking towards Kakamega Forest. Is this evidence that there are works going on, on the road? The photographs have been tabled. This joke is so appalling that when we cry here in Nairobi, we hope our people at home see the nexus between this joke this afternoon and what the President did at Lwakhakha purporting to open a border post which was opened by the late Sen. Otieno Kajwang in the name of rolling developments projects in our region."
