    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement by Sen. Chute of Marsabit. As you are aware, they are issuing money for all the contracted works. It is 10 per cent of the initial price. However, this money is supposed to be retained for only one year at most. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose of this money in any business is actually for cases where work is not well done; either the work is shoddy or it is not completed. However, this money is never paid to any of the contractors. It sits for many years in the books, but it is never given back; they are now forfeiting it. At times, contractors do their job and complete it but they might not even get a better profit margin. However, the kind of this retention money that we are seeing, half of this money is not actually paid back to them and most of the money is forfeited and at times it sits for some years in the books and it becomes automatically forfeited. Therefore, I want to support Sen. Chute that this money must be paid on time, at least for the year that it is going to be retained. If work is well done and completed, then it must be paid. With those few remarks I beg to support."
