    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the Motion by Sen. Kibiru, on the completion of all stalled projects under county governments through budgetary management. I would like to thank the Senator for coming up with such a thoughtful opinion on this. We have had several problems in relation to Vision 2030 projects. I have asked in this House before what happened to the blueprint of Vision 2030. So much thought had been put into this idea by the former President, His Excellency, Mwai Kibaki and his Government. There was even a Ministry in charge of Vision 2030. So, the issue of projects not being thought out properly does not arise. They were well thought out and resources allocated to those projects. It is the subsequent Governments and implementers who have let us down. Vision 2030 is still a good thing for this country, and we should continue to make its implementation, monitor it and evaluate the framework in which it was placed. If there are any shortcomings, which for me I would consider more politics than otherwise, they should be looked into and sorted out. On the issue of pending bills, we have had auctioneers putting up advertisements in newspapers every Monday. They have even come to be known as the pink pages, where auctioneers sell property of business people who have not been paid by county governments. This is something that we need to address as Parliament. If we do not do so, it will not be possible to grow the economy by 6.3 percent or double digit especially the small businesses will be affected."
