    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if this Senate cannot deal with pending bills, especially from counties, then who will? I raise this concern because towards the end of the last session, I brought a petition on the Floor of this House from business people and contractors in Kitui County, direction was given from the Chair on how the matter was going to be handled. The first meeting between the Committee on Finance and Budget and the contractors took place. The contractors were promised by the same Committee that at the beginning of this Session, the Committee was going to ask the governor to appear, so that he could explain how the bills were accumulated and plans for payment. Now, the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget expresses doubts as to whether his Committee should be dealing with pending bills. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need guidance from the Chair because if contractors cannot bring these issues before the Senate, I do not know where else they can take them."
