    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I will be very brief. I just walked in when this important debate was going on. I want to support Sen. (Dr.) Ali of Wajir for this timely Statement, which has also been brought severally by different Senators including myself. We can sit here and discuss but one thing is critical, that this problem cannot be wished away. However, I have a solution, a cure punch, that as a Member who sits in the Committee of Finance and Budget, I think we should find a solution where these outstanding county bills can be paid by the Treasury at the source regardless. I really sympathize with the new governors who are going to take over the mantle after the next election. These governors will find it very hard to manage the county business. It is high time that parties who have problems with the counties, like the contractors, desist from the tactic of taking matters to court. Governors are very happy when the matters go to court and even if judgment will be issued with interest, they do not care. This is because they know that they have misdirected the budget sum to other unrelated programmes, which will attract some damages thereof. Therefore, it is my humble contribution that the Treasury pays the money at the source. That is my humble view. I support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
