"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not wearing sandals; I am wearing shoes. Of course, I do not have socks but I have a reason and I do not need to explain that. I have come from an overseas trip and, therefore, it is in order for me to wear the sandals. However, this matter as far as payment to contractors is concerned is very serious. This is happening in many county governments including my own county government. A petition is lying in this House where the County Assembly of Garissa recommended that money should not be released as long as the current Governor is still in office. I foresee as we go to the elections, these matters will be left pending, new governors will be elected and they will not feel obliged to pay those debts because it was erroneously incurred by another governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in view of this, this House should take this matter very seriously, whether it has bene dealt by the County Assembly of Busia or not. So long as the petition is with us, we need to deal with it."
