    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have listened very carefully to what Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o has said. I believe there have been challenges related to the organisation at the headquarters of the former Ministry of Public Works. In fact, if you recall, for a long time, the Directorate of Public Works as it is now referred to was attached to the Ministry of Lands and it has only been transferred to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure following recent reorganisation. I am also aware that what Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o has said could be right, that Kisumu Public Works Department could be inadequately staffed. We will raise these concerns with the people in charge at the Directorate of Public Works. If, indeed, the delays experienced on these projects could be attributed to inadequate staffing, then we will come back and report to this House. However, we will investigate this matter and hold discussions with the people responsible to make sure that the matter is rectified, if, indeed, this is the reason there have been delays. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, concerning the second issue regarding the proposed Children’s Clinical Centre of Excellence, we have been assured that the handing over will take place before the end of this month. Therefore, I hope Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o’s concern will be addressed fully. I am told that there is some discussion between the contractor and officers from the Public Works Office relating to installation of water heaters to be connected to heat generated by incinerators. I am not quite sure what this is all about but we will make further inquiries because I believe that will help address the concerns raised by Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o."
