    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have heard from Senators that the accumulated pending bills of different counties has had adverse effects of the people and businesses in those counties. So, when they do a good job, we have to praise them. However, when they do a bad job, we also have to be harsh and tough and bash them and give them feedback that will make them to change. If they do not change, then the people of those counties should change them. As far as this Motion is concerned, I support it. However, I would also want the Senator who is moving this Motion to amend some of the wordings of it, so that we do not put all the governors in one basket and give the impression that county governors never do anything good. From the examples I have given of Wajir and Garissa counties, these are governors who are serving a second term. They have come in after being out for five years and found an exploded pending bill. However, they have done something about it and reduced the amounts. As far as I am concerned, this Motion should be very harsh on the county governments that have not done anything since they came into office in reducing the amounts of the pending bills. Examples include Nairobi City County, Kiambu, Busia and other counties. The Mover of the Motion should be able to cluster the notorious counties so that they can be affected by this Motion. If the Mover is agrees to make some of the amendments, then I will fully support this Motion. I thank him for coming up with a very good Motion that will assist the county governments that are suffering from pending bills. As I said, it is also important that we give positive feedback to the governors who are doing a good job. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the Motion."
