    "content": "Once the root cause of the failure to complete these projects is established, I would like to advise that in the good spirit of fighting corruption, the particular people who are responsible, ranging from the contractors---. There is a bridge where I come from which could have provided an economic linkage between two sub counties in Bomet County. That particular bridge connects Bomet Central and Bomet East. I understand that about Ksh32 million had been spent on that project and it was not completed. I understand that the contractors are still getting money from various projects that are going on in the counties surrounding Bomet. Such contractors who always fail to complete projects must be blackmailed, so that it be known that they are victims of incomplete projects. The other reason behind incomplete projects is that there is no proper handing over whenever a new governor is getting into office. There are no proper structures for handing over in our county governments. We, therefore, need to come up with a proper framework for handing over, so that when a new governor comes into office, they are able to get a clear picture of the stalled projects and the reasons those projects have stalled. This will ensure that governors complete projects during their tenure, because they will know very well that they will be held responsible for stalled projects. Some of the stalled projects in our counties are very important. In the county that I come from, there are so many projects that were not completed within the hospitals. In addition, some Early Childhood Development (ECD) schools were not completed, yet the taxpayers’ money had been spent. Therefore, a thorough audit of these projects needs to be done before we rush to completing them, without knowing exactly what stalled them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this particular Motion. We must expand on it and make sure that the stalled projects in our counties are completed. Thank you."
