    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) concerning the closure of bank accounts of the Kisumu Urban Project (KUP). The Kenya and French governments funded this infrastructure expansion and social amenities project for the benefit of the residents of Kisumu County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the circumstances that led to the closure of the project‘s bank accounts. (2) State whether there has been an investigation into the operations prior to the closure of the accounts, and if so, table the findings of the investigation. This is an urgent matter. As I speak, my county will lose a lot of money for projects. We have been receiving up to a tune of Kshs4.7 billion for different projects in Kisumu County. Without knowing the circumstances after the national Treasury sent the money to some ―ghost‖ accounts in Kisumu, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) moved with speed and they are trying to investigate why Kisumu County had a different account instead of operating the previous one. This is a matter of concern because as I speak now, most of the contractors are out of site because they fear they will never be paid. That is why I want the relevant committee to move with speed. They should tell us what happened and why the bank accounts were closed. I thank you."
