The Cabinet Secretary (CS) in the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation Eric Muriithi Muuga has issued a stern warning to contractors undertaking projects in the North Rift region and across the country for failure to comply with the contract terms and ending up extending duration meant to complete various projects.
The CS was speaking at the Uasin Gishu County Headquarters in Eldoret City, during his visit ahead of the President's tour to the region on Thursday to assess development projects on water, roads, technical institutes and the affordable housing.
He called upon consultants who are tasked to supervise these projects to ensure that projects are completed on time so that the people of the great North Rift can have actual value for their money. "The challenge we have with these contractors is that the projects sometimes take too long to complete and that is what as a ministry we are saying we will not tolerate," he noted.
The CS and his team visited two sub colonial dams, Moi's bridge Water Supply and Matunda Water Supply projects costing at approximately Sh 1.9 billion which the contractor has already mobilized some materials on site.
