    "content": "There are many people who have lost their property because they used it as collateral security to do some of the county projects. As the Senate, we have failed. It looks like when a new governor comes in, the other contractors are left out and new contractors are taken on board by the new governor. We must agree on the pending bills issue. There are many Kenyans in our counties that continue to suffer. Nandi is one of the counties that still have pending bills. It is shocking that the National Treasury had to issue a circular to resolve some of those pending bills. Madam Deputy Speaker, to accelerate the economic and job creation, the nation should develop a stimulus package for small enterprises. This is essentially a bottom-up economic approach. We need to ensure that in the Financial Year 2022/2023, God willing, the bottom up economy should come up. We want to ensure that the people at the lowest level are able to access jobs. We cannot just say that there is kazi mitaani or we shall employ 200,000 youth. Let us have a structure. Where I come from is more of a rural economy. Where Sen. Madzayo comes from is more of kazi ni kazi. We cannot say kazi mtaani. I agree that kazini kazi, but we must have a structured way. Where you and Sen. Olekina come from is more of a rural economy. Can we say that it is only clearing roads and bushes when, for instance, we can support livestock issues? We can give one cow per youth in Narok or Nandi, so that we can say ‘ kazi nikazi.’ We really need to agree on this issue, but not just waking up one day and saying ‘ kazi mtaani.’ I know that Machakos County, where Sen. Kavindu Muthama comes from, is a semi-rural and semi urban county. It is a big challenge."
