    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the intention of the ESP was to stimulate the economy almost immediately. Because of that, the Ministry of Finance directed the committees at the grassroots that when they award a contract to a contractor, that contractor should not qualify for a second project because the projects were supposed to be completed within the shortest time possible. A company known as M/S Wilkoli Building and Civil Engineering won a contract to construct a health centre in my constituency and, therefore, was disqualified by the committee from the market tender. Thereafter, he was awarded a contract at the Ministry Headquarters to construct the market, which is yet to start. I have also learnt that the same contractor is constructing the district headquarters in Cherangany. He has two projects in Eldoret North, two in Eldoret East, two in my constituency, one in Pokot, one in Bureti and one in Konoin. Could the Minister confirm that there could be an issue with the contractor? Could he assure this House that the Kaptebengwet project will be completed by March? This contractor seems to be using delaying tactics. How can he cover the entire nation and do all these projects at the same time? Unfortunately, the Ministry has not responded to my letter of complaint against the same contractor."
