    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I was saying this slow pace, therefore, means that we will not be able to implement and keep track of the Big Four Agenda projects. For instance, under the manufacturing pillar, the Common Effluent Pre-treatment Plant at Kinanie Leather Park is only 30 per cent complete, although the BPS reports an expected 80 per cent completion by the end of June this year, and 100 per cent completion by 2020/2021. Similarly, the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone and the Naivasha Industrial Park reported 3 per cent and 4 per cent completion respectively in 2018/2019, and have an extraordinary target of 40 per cent and 30 per cent completion targets respectively in the year 2019/2020. That is by June this year. Similarly, in agriculture, a number of irrigation projects appear to be off-track as they are still quite far from achieving the targeted acreage for irrigation purposes as well as the targeted amount of produce. As I had mentioned, under the housing pillar, only 228 units of the indicated 500,000 affordable houses have been constructed and with only one notable investor, it is not clear if the project is adequately funded. Similarly, there is lack of clarity in the financing mode of the Universal Health Coverage Pillar as well as the role of the NHIF in the provision of universal health care."
