    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the specific questions which Sen. ( Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o raised were:- One, to explain why there has been delay of over two years in implementing public works projects at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital in Kisumu. Secondly, to state why the public works department in Kisumu has failed to supervise projects at the institution to ensure timely completion. I wish to clarify from the outset that the projects at the hospital are being funded and implemented by the Ministry of Health and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). The public works staff only provide supervision services on those projects. There are three projects in all. One of them is installation of an incinerator at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, which is 100 per cent complete and is in use. The second project is the Children Clinical Center of Excellence at the same hospital, which is at 99 per cent completion level. The third project is the proposed refurbishment works for Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDRTB) block, which is at 40 per cent completion. On the incinerator project, I want to state that it was completed on 7th January, 2015 which was the scheduled completion date. The project was commissioned and handed over on the same date, and is currently in use by the clients. The second project; the proposed Children Clinical Center of Excellence commenced on 14th June, 2102. The completion date was 30th May, 2013. Unfortunately, because of the various issues relating to funding, the project was not completed on the scheduled date. This project is ongoing and as I said earlier, it is at 99 per cent completion level. The project is expected to be completed at the end of this month. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding the third project which is the Refurbishment Works for the Multi Drugs-Resistant TB Block, there have been problems on the project and the challenges are related to funding. The project is currently stalled The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
