    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kitui Bus Station Project was awarded to Messrs Kewal Contractors for a sum of Kshs46,129,576.50. (b) The Construction commenced on 15th February, 2007. I am aware that the completion delayed for more than three years. The reason was that the cost of construction had gone up. It became clear that the contractor was unable to keep pace with the programme of works and ended up being behind schedule. After several warnings on the slow progress of the construction works, the Ministry terminated the contract on 3rd September, 2009. (c) The Ministry has now completed documentation and preparation of contract documents, advertised the job afresh and evaluation of the bids is ongoing. It is expected that upon adjudication and award, the project will be completed in the next financial year. The delay, as I said, was also as a result of inadequate funding within the Ministry."
