    "content": "Moreover, the Committee noted that some contractors were abusing the judicial process to frustrate Government projects. Indeed, this revelation by the Committee speaks to the whole question of the use of court systems to avoid accountability. We have noted, a lot of times those who fall foul to the law, particularly with regard to accounting for public matters, usually result to the courts in a way to either forestall or avoid accountability altogether. Indeed, this matter came up in our meeting with the ‘big nine’ which included the leaderships of various parts of the Government. A notable example of this case was the Kakamega-Webuye Road that was at 2.5 per cent complete 34 months after works began and a lot of money, far incommensurate with the work done, had already been paid."
