    "content": "The money is committed, agreements signed, contractual work done, but no payments have been done. It the not the same money that somebody should have been waiting for because it has already been appropriated. If there is going to be construction of a hospital, laboratory or a road, the money is already there in the budget. The most unfortunate thing is that the money does not find its way to the people who do the work. It is diverted or misappropriated. The people who misappropriate this money are not prosecuted nor take liability for it. The Auditors go there and write reports, the matter goes to the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) who go there and confirm. Some of them are taken to police and reported, but nothing goes on. People in high places of power have caused this country a lot of suffering. Many accountants have struck deals with contractors. They were taken to court, but were released without any consequence. They are walking scot-free with their money. This county has billions in unpaid bills. Wajir County has pending bills amounting to Kshs5.5 billion. The money was in the budget. Where did the money go? It has been diverted, utilized for other purposes, or pocketed. Unfortunately, no one has been taken to court."
