    "content": "For avoidance of doubt, since this debate has been going on for long, on Nandi County roads that have stalled since 2014 which are in Tinderet, Mosop and Chesumei Constituency, we have re-advertised them. We thank the Attorney-General for cooperating with my office to allow us to re-advertise those roads so as to get a good contractor who is going to deliver. Some of the leaders from those areas have said they do not want some contractors from certain countries. My business is to make sure that we get a contractor that has the capacity to deliver roads for the people of Nandi. I am not in the business of knowing or facilitating friends of politicians or individuals to get contracts. My business is to tell the agency to use proper tendering process and get us contractors who can get the people of Nandi from the morass and problems they have had from 2014, not to please certain individuals who are in certain contractors’ pockets."
