    "content": "colleagues deeply look through, particularly this Senate. It is your responsibility to try and save the county governments, because they are in trouble. Finally, we need to come up and solve this problem where all governors are saying, and indeed they are correct, that there is always late disbursement of funds from the Exchequer. That matter must be sorted out. Any time you delay payments of a trader or a business person who was a supplier, naturally, you understand what that means. It means that his loans are either not going to be serviced, and some of these people have been auctioned. In several counties, some of these contractors have died. Governors are no longer paying pending bills, because they are paying their friends and the companies that they are using to do business for themselves. So, we are really in a catch-22 situation. However, I believe that this Senate has the capacity to come up with good laws and make sure that such Bills, like this one, will go a long way in making sure that we move our country ahead. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I support this Bill and hope that it will be expedited immediately, so that the money can be sent to the county governments. Thank you."
