    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If there is one great contribution that we can make to this country and its economy, it is to pay these entrepreneurs; the young people who are doing business with county governments through their access to government procurement opportunities, the woman and the Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), who have supplied goods and services to county governments this Kshs113 billion. I believe that it is a resolution that will compel county governments, working with the Office of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget to finalize this matter of pending bills, so be it. We have governors proud and bragging that they paid all the pending bills in their jurisdictions yet what they paid was only a small fraction. We have governors who are questioning bills in their counties and they have been in office since 2013. They created the mess and they are now capitalizing on it to deny Kenyans their hard-earned money. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the CPAIC that will be reconstituted to make this their primary agenda, how to ensure that the Kshs113.6 billion owed to Kenyans as at 30th June 2020 is released from the Government coffers and go to the pockets of citizens and taxpayers of this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
