    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Petition. As a country, we are really letting down business people. It is the right of those who have supplied or provided services, when required to, to get their payments. Unfortunately, the rate at which we are delaying payments to Kenyans is unbelievable. We need to see how we can solve this problem as a country, because it has appeared severally in this Senate. This is not only happening in the NYS; even in the counties, the contactors who have supplied and rendered services to most counties are drained, because they have not been paid up to now. This is going to affect the counties as well as our national economy. We need to come up with legislation on how pending bills should be handled and cleared. Some counties and national Government agencies cook figures of pending bills without looking at whether the services were delivered or not. That way, the country is losing a lot of money. I hope that the Committee that will be delegated to handle this Petition will critically look at the pending bills vis-a-vis the national Government. Thank you."
