Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House will recall that in 2018 the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget did the enquiry into matters relating to the government infrastructure projects comprising county executive headquarter offices, assembly chambers and offices and county state officers’ residences, after there was a lot of hue and cry in the country. The Committee did make a report then and tabled it in the House on 29th November, 2018. The report was adopted as a resolution of the House on 14th May, 2019. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate resolution then recommended that the county governments should customise the prototype designs provided by the Ministry of Transport Infrastructure, Public Works and Housing and Urban Development for their respective projects. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the following were the given estimates for those infrastructure projects - (1) County governors residences were estimated by the Ministry of Public Works at Kshs45million (2) County Deputy Governors’ offices at Kshs35million (3) County Assembly Speakers’ office at Kshs35million The sizes were that they should not exceed more than two acres, and not below a quarter of an acre. County executive headquarters were estimated to cost Kshs500 million and for the assembly chambers, assemblies that had 30 and below Members, up to Kshs400million; between 31 and 60 Members, up to Kshs500 million; and, between 61 and 90 Members, Kshs750 million.
