    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that, indeed, the amount allocated at that time was Kshs46 million. Out of this, about Kshs14 million had been paid. Therefore, there was a balance which was spent. It was not spent because the contractor was unable to keep pace and, therefore, the Ministry was not just going to release money on the basis of works not done. That was the reason behind it. Secondly, I also wanted to indicate that during that period, because of the strict financial situation in the country, the Treasury put a ceiling which forced us not to be able to spend more money. However, that notwithstanding, the fact of the matter is that this contractor was not able to perform. Upon realization, rather than dragging him on for too long, the Ministry terminated the contract on 3rd September, 2009. I would like to assure the hon. Member that we have advertised. I can table before the House details of the advertisement to show that we are seeking a fresh award to enable this Bus Park to be completed."
