    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am interested in the issues that were raised by Sen. Murkomen, because the truth shall make us free. It is true that lawyers - I belong to that profession - have been used as conduits to collect money by making sure that the ‘proper fees’ are scaled up. In some cases, the taxman has come in and the lawyers have lived to regret. Before the NARC Government, the issue of pending bills was established as a big industry. Many people made a lot of money by simply being brokers between public servants and contractors in trying to get them paid. If you did not offer some money to public officials, then your dues would not be paid. Similarly, I have realized that this practice has come back in many counties. Governors would only pay those who are able to pay the brokers. Could the Chairman try to find out if this practice has come back again? It looks like in all the counties the industry of brokers is growing very fast and they operate from the county headquarters. This is something that we thought would die. Could the Chairman also find out whether we have pending bills due to lack of money or because the brokers have channeled money to county officials?"
