    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank my Chairman, Sen. Billow, for the detailed response regarding what is happening in our counties. However, he has just presented his answer like one could give information and it has not solved what I asked for. I wanted to know clearly whether there are Kenyans who entered into contracts with the 47 county governments and assemblies to carry out projects and supply goods. In the middle of their business, some have ended up not being paid at all. This could either be as a result of a governor or whoever is in charge changing the agreement. Some of them have suddenly ended up being bankrupt. They took loans from banks and they have sold their property to repay them. I know one of them who collapsed and died in Kitale because of huge debts. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in my county, a Mr. Said has had to sell all his lorries and yet these projects were given to him and they did not pay him. I particularly want more clarification on when the law has been breached. What does the National Treasury and national Government want us to do? When you say that the law has been breached and we have brought your attention to it, what do you want the Senate to do? I told you that it is now the Treasury to quickly call the relevant arm of Government to deal with---."
