    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity just to add my voice to what my colleagues have already alluded to. I thank Sen. Wambua for bringing this Petition to the House because it was long overdue. When we passed the 2010 Constitution, it was very clear that services and running of governments was being taken closer to the people. However, from what we are seeing, it is the contrary and the opposite. Many young people have lost the little money that they had for business. Even the 30 per cent of all the contracts at the county level, which should have been given to the women and youth, has really not brought any assistance to our people. It does not matter whether you are a sitting or former governor, but so long as these pending bills are legitimate, they should be paid in good time. If we look at Kisumu County alone, for example, we have a pending bill of over Kshs2 billion. That is a lot of money that the county government is keeping on behalf of the people of Kisumu who really need it to continue with their daily activities. With those few remarks, I support this Petition."
