    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This Bill is very important. I know it was in the 12th Parliament, but did not succeed. I am aware that many Kenyans have lost their money investing with the government. There are many people who went into contract with the Government as suppliers and contractors. They have not received their money for the last 10 years or so. When devolution started, many Kenyans had hopes on doing business with the Government because money had been devolved and was available at the grassroot level. Unfortunately, what happened was unforgivable. Many people who did their contractual work with counties did not get their pay and most of them have lost their businesses while others have closed. Today, we have many who cannot take their children to school. They have dropped out due to lack of funds. Some of them were millionaires; people with Kshs50 to Kshs100 million have turned to be paupers. They are very poor people. Their children are not able to go to good schools. This is an unfortunate thing."
