    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join the distinguished Senator for Vihiga in sounding an alarm too on the issues he has raised. In just a minute, I urge the House, through the Committee on Finance and Budget, whose Chairperson is sitting right in front of me, to take cue from this Statement, address three things and bring a comprehensive report to this House. The first issue is about pending bills, which every county is now under a heavy weight of. The second one is lack of absorption capacity by counties in absorbing the little money that we give them. They get just 9 per cent of the national Budget and cannot absorb it. The third issue is gross mismanagement of resources through county activities in the name of corruption. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I finish by lauding the renewed energy in the war against corruption. I have seen in my county that the “wheelbarrow” culprits were convicted and sentenced, although the masterminds are still walking free."
