    "content": ". When the government inspector wanted to visit a certain city, he would announce. After announcing that he was coming, the children were cleaned, they were given good clothes and the mayor prepared his officers. That is what happened yesterday when the Committee on Health visited Kiambu Referral Hospital. They announced that they were going. So, the patients were cleaned and bedsheets cleaned. We were only shown the best part. I urge the Committee on Health not to announce next time. Do an impromptu visit so that you can see the real picture. Talk to those people. There was a certain woman who was trying to talk to me, but she was barred from speaking to me because they did not want the Chairman of the Committee on Health to understand a cleaner picture of that hospital from that perspective. Why do we have pending bills, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir? We have them because the governors over-projected their own source revenue. I will be bringing a statement tomorrow, if you allow me because we have to investigate the budgeting process of Kiambu County. We have to understand the wisdom behind over-projecting your own source revenue by over 300 per cent. Kiambu County used to collect about Kshs3 billion, but the current governor with his wisdom and magic thinks he can collect Kshs9 billion within a period of one year. Since it was put in the budget, what they will do is to overspend what they do not have. That is more pending bills created on top of the Kshs5.7 billion that the county government owes the people of Kiambu. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractors and Kiambu service providers are suffering. You know the court said that any contractor or anybody who is owed any amount by the county government can auction county properties."
