    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek for clarification on behalf of the plight of local contractors. Just like in this particular road, many other roads, including Kakamega-Webuye Road, Sigalagala-Butere Road and others have stalled. Local and struggling contractors go to the bank, secure loans and buy machinery hoping that they will start the project and get paid. However, at the end of the day, when the Government stalls the projects, those machines are seized by their creditors and auctioned. The local contractors wind up and yet the Government is sitting pretty. Could the Chairperson clarify what the Government will do so as to compensate these contractors, especially the contractor of Sigalagala-Butere road? This is an innocent Asian whom we grew up with; he has become a businessman and now this Jubilee Government has fleeced him."
