    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. The matter at hand is very serious. I want to talk about Embu County where I come from. There is a major problem of liquidity. Kenyans have no money. One of the reasons for this problem wherever we come from is that contractors and suppliers are never paid on time and sometimes they are not even paid at all. As I am talking, we have very many contractors in this Republic who are suffering because auctioneers have landed on them. They are unable to pay bank loans. They are unable to survive or to continue doing whatever they do for a living. It is very serious. This matter is not only for the national Government; even our counties are impoverishing our people when they do not pay contractors on time. Our people have had to go through financial hardships. I support this Petition and also urge the Committee which will get it to expedite the matter. It is a matter of national importance and affects all corners of this Republic."
