I was saying to conclude by saying there are stalled projects which have a substantial impact on society. The largest projects will, therefore, be considered through the medium-term framework. A lot of projects will be considered like the ones Members mentioned about the Mitihani House, the stalled Nyayo wards in Dandora and other areas. We also appreciate the huge responsibility that Chairs of the various departmental committees undertook. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
