Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development the following: a) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure compliance with the requirement of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act in respect to contractors who fail to honour contractual agreements by running behind schedules and delaying implementation of various projects in the country? b) What is the status of Metamayu-Kebirigo Road in Nyamira County in regard to adherence to contractual agreements?
