    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Konoin Constituency is one of the 210 constituencies meant to benefit from the Economic Stimulus Programme market component. The County Council of Bureti had identified a site at Kaptebengwet for the market. The delay in the construction of the fresh produce market for Konion was caused by two main reasons. The project was advertised by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance on 25th September 2009, and handled through the CDF framework. My Ministry was supposed to validate awards and contract after getting the requisite tender documents from the CDF. The tender was received from the CDF on 12th March 2010. (b) The Ministerial Tender Committee awarded the tender on 7th April 2010. However, the necessary pre-contract documents, that is, the performance bond, programme of work and cashflow, were only presented on 28th September 2010. A contract with M/s. Wilkori Building Civil Engineering Contractors was signed on 28th December 2010. Mr. Deputy Speaker, the order to commence work was issued on 4th October 2010. The Town Clerk and Bureti County Council had not been able to hand over the site because of the differences between the contractor and the local leaders. The matter is now resolved and work is due to commence within two weeks."
