    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Abshiro for bringing this up. The essence of it truly is projects where the Government has invested a lot of money in terms of billions yet the real economic value cannot be derived because the projects were either not completed or not properly done. I think the Committee should further ask for the status of all projects with regard to their completion status and, specifically, in my case, the status of- (1) Mathare North Hospital, which is a 320-bed hospital that has stayed unfinished for more than 10 years, yet billions were invested in it. (2) Pumwani Maternity Hospital extension, across the road from Pumwani Hospital, which can reduce the strain that we have in the city on hospitals like Mama Lucy, Mbagathi and Kenyatta International Hospital. It makes no sense to invest Kshs2 billion or Kshs3 billion and yet not finish a project. That is wastage of public funds. The status of these incomplete projects, whose real economic value has not been derived, can be found to be destructive, for this House to be able to note and be able to push for their completion. Thank you."
