• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir,, the default notice that was issued was as a result of the fact that the period that it was meant to have completed construction was on 14th July and the project had gone at a slow pace. At present, the market is 54 per cent complete and only 54 per cent of the payment has been done. That is why a default notice was issued which was then followed by a stakeholders’ meeting and the contractor undertook to complete this work by 27th October. On the second part of the question, yes, the temporary structures were ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the project consultant, M/s Costbill Systems, has already issued a default notice which was done on 13th March, 2012. During the stakeholders’ meeting which was held on 3rd April, 2012, the contractor undertook to complete the project. The only other action that would be taken would be drastic and would even delay the project further. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the actual construction period was meant to be two years, which is a total of 104 weeks. The contract extension was given an additional three months which is an additional 12 weeks. If 54 per cent has been completed, the consultant with the contractor agreed on how the time schedule will be done. I do not have the time scheduling here but I believe it was done within the time frame that the contractor and the consultants were satisfied. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I would want to confirm that there will be no additional costs because of the delays. If anything, the penalties on the performance will be imposed and as such, the Government will not lose any money. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have given specific information. I have said that the project delayed. I have said that a default notice was issued. I have said that a stakeholders’ meeting was held on 3rd April, 2012 and I have also said that the contractor undertook to complete this project in October 2012. I am not sure what the hon. Member really wants, more than that. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking at the alternatives that are available as far as this project is concerned. The first alternative is to continue and pressurize through that work schedule with the contractor who is there. Failure to that - and the clock has started ticking towards that – the other alternative would be to terminate the contract, re-tender and re-issue. For sure, for that, we would be talking about next year. So, I am looking at the better of two alternatives and since there has been view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my answer, I said that in accordance to the performance, penalties will be levied because of time delays. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am looking at the best of two evils. If we went with the second alternative, we will then proceed towards terminating the contract. According to the contract, that would still take a period of time. Then we would have to re-advertise and retender and that would still take a period of time. For sure, if we take the second alternative, the contract will not even commence before the end of the year, which is not what this particular Member wants. If he wants to provide a solution, let him suggest it, but I have not ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we work for the Kenyan people together with him, I will urge him to come and give me whatever facts that are different from the ones I have given and we will work it out. As far as I am concerned, this Question is adequately answered. view
