"content": "Hon. Members, I do not want to repeat what you have said. The issue of unpaid contractors is just suffocating, and if we are not careful, we may lose devolution. This is because what it was trying to achieve is being defeated by corrupt people in the counties, who are stealing money left, right and centre. Whenever they are asked, they flag all manner of things, including how big and untouchable they are. This phenomenon is in every county. In fact, if I had given an opportunity to every Senator, they would say the same thing. For that reason, I will be directing the Committee on Finance and Budget, on its own without the help of anybody, before we suspend the work of Committees for the Christmas recess, to visit Kitui County in the company of the Senator for Kitui. They should spend some time in Kitui; not just a hit and run visit. It must be a proper visit to meet all the stakeholders. The Committee should listen to the executive, the county assembly and perhaps, representatives of contractors, and generate a response to the Senator for Kitui before 17th December, 2018."
