    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is our expectation that the National Treasury will speed up the release of these funds to the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), as well as Parliament and the Judiciary. The Committee and this House expects that the spending agencies will be prudent and compliant to the fiscal responsibility principles in the utilisation of the appropriated funds, and focus on achieving the planned outputs and targets that will benefit the people of this great Republic. We continue to urge that priority in terms of requisition and payments should be focused on settlement of pending bills. Pending bills are literally everywhere - in all ministries, in all departments and also in county governments. Pending bills are actually choking the country. So, it is our request and also directive that the Government should focus on settling those pending bills. Hon. Speaker, it is, therefore, my pleasant undertaking, on behalf of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, to recommend that the Bill be read a Second Time. In addition, I would like to inform the House that I will be moving a slight amendment, in the Committee of the whole House, whose intention is to correct an omission to cater for adequate salary provision for the Kenya Industrial Estate. I thank you. I request the Majority Whip, Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe, to second."
