    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the two petitions brought to the House by the Senator for Kajiado, I would like to comment that this is just a replica of very many situations throughout the country, that is, negligence of maintenance of roads and non-refund of taxes so accumulated and taken from companies to the relevant people. It is a shame that a system that is supposed to be very well audited with all the brains in the country, fails to encourage citizens of this country and indeed investors to even pay more taxes to this country. An outstanding amount to the tune of nearly Kshs180 million due to Tata Chemicals is an abhorring amount which is enough to bring down a company that is known to have been in this country for the last 50 years and above. It is my prayer that this Senate not only ensures that this is done by the relevant authorities but really condemns this kind of situation which includes contractors being given a duty to repair a road and they dilly-dally around until the rains come again. The company is very much in order to complain that they are likely not to have a road to Magadi when the short rains start. I support."
