    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The progress report of the Economic Stimulus Programme in Konoin Constituency is as follows: We have Mogogosiek Primary School with a project of constructing three classrooms, two pit latrines and rainwater harvesting facilities. For the classrooms, the floor slabs have been done, and for the pit latrines the ground has been cleared. Work on the rainwater harvesting facilities has not yet started. The amount that has been spent on the classrooms is Kshs780,000; nothing has been spent on projects which have not started. There have been delays because of interference by rain. There was also delay in the customization of the bills of quantities, which are supposed to be done by the Ministry of Public Works. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is Kitala Primary Schools, where there is a project for three classrooms, two pit latrines and rainwater harvesting facilities. The floor slabs for the three classrooms have been done. Work on the pit latrines and the rainwater harvesting facilities has not yet started. The amount spent is Kshs560,000 shillings. The reason for delays was rainfall interference and delayed customization of bills of quantities. That is for the two primary schools, where we are doing the classrooms, pit latrines and then the rainwater harvesting facilities. We also have a secondary school called Kimolot Secondary School. That is the school of excellence and it is being upgraded. The projects to be done there are a laboratory, an administration block and a three-bedroom teacher’s house. What has been done is that the laboratory is at the completion level; we are plastering, installing water and fixing the interiors and the ceiling. For the administration block, walling of the first floor has been done. The teacher’s house is at the completion level, plastering and fixing of the windows. The amount spent so far is Kshs2 million. There was minimal delay in that project. We have 20 primary schools, each of which was allocated Kshs60,000 which is a total of Kshs1.2 million for tree planting. The headteachers of all schools were trained and given the seeds to prepare seedbeds and nurseries. The seeds were planted, germination took place but the seedlings have not reached the transplanting stage. There is 95 per cent survival rate of the seedlings in all the primary schools. The biggest challenge is lack of transport for District Education Officers for monitoring of the projects. Kshs0.7 million has been utilized by the schools as indicated in the table which, I think, the hon. Member has. Thank you."
