    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) whether he is aware that Kisumu, Kibos, Siaya and Eldoret prisons, and Shikusa Borstal Institution owe suppliers, mostly small local businesses sums amounting to over Kshs200 million for the period 2012 to 2018; (ii) is he further aware that funds were allocated in the budget to the institutions to clear the said bills, but were not used for the same purpose; and, (iii) what steps he is taking to ensure that these bills are paid. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your permission, I wish to bring to your attention that when I filed this Question, I included a three-page annexure with names of 200 suppliers with sums totaling Kshs206 million. This would help the CS in knowing who he owes. I have been informed by the Table Office that it is not customary to attach these details to Questions, but with your direction, the annexure would be submitted to the Cabinet Secretary when he is summoned to come."
