    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, other projects of similar nature that have been implemented by the Government of Kenya and where advance payments were paid include the Karimenu II Dam Water Project, which is a contract sum of US$235,918,461. The amount of advance payment already paid to Karimenu Water Project is US$4,718,692, which amounts to almost Ksh5 billion for only one project in Thika. As we speak, this water project has not started because there are still consultations about compensation. We also have the Itare Dam Water Supply Project, which is a contract worth Ksh28 billion. The advance money paid was 20 per cent, which is Ksh4.3 billion. Similarly, Thwake Multipurpose Dam Water Project in Makueni – for which Sen. Mutula Kilonzo brought many questions on the Floor of this House – is a contract of Ksh36 billion. Before the project commenced, Ksh7.3 billion was paid as advance payment, which is 20 per cent of the contract sum. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
