"content": "I do not know if you are aware that in Nairobi, for example, Gov. Sakaja will not pay Gov. Sonko's pending bills. It is out there in the public domain. Gov. Kidero's pending bills will also not be paid. I wonder why we are punishing our people for doing business with the county government. We are the ones who should be encouraging this relationship with our young people and giving them hope that the Government can be trusted. The rich and the big business people take advantage because they are connected. Sometimes you find that bids have been floated, but only one person or sometimes not even one person has responded to the bid because of the fear that they will not be paid. That makes the big business people thrive because they are the only ones doing business with the county governments since they are assured of payment. If we decide to sort this issue of pending bills as a Senate because it concerns the counties, we can put our foot down and have the pending bills paid as far as the first county government. When talking about the pending bills, are we aware that there are contractors who have never been paid as far as 2013?"
