(Ms.) Dennitah Ghati","speaker":{"id":856,"legal_name":"Dennitah Ghati","slug":"dennitah-ghati"},"content":"This Bill also seeks to investigate some of the companies that use their powers. We see them. Most of the counties take a year to pay suppliers. We have contractors who stay for a year without being paid by the county governments. They supply their services to the county governments but they stay for a year without being paid. Some even die and they leave their families with the burden of finding out what happened to their work. We have a body that seeks to regulate and look into the affairs of the suppliers. So, this is a very good Bill."}
