    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are aware of the following instruments of appropriation: Annual Appropriations Act, Supplementary Appropriations Act, Division of Revenue Act and County Allocation of Revenue Act. If the conditional grant fund is not included in any of these appropriations, how then would it be taken to the county revenue fund? Let me highlight another serous issue in one minute. That is the issue of pending bills. Every year when we debate the Division of Revenue Bill and County Allocation of Revenue Bill, we have a similar debate in this House on the status of pending bills. This is something that we should take seriously. Why? Because pending bills is a way of robbing Kenyans. We are asking Kenyans to supply goods and render services, including undertaking construction projects, among other works, when we are not ready to pay – when we do not have funds to pay and we do not even provide for those funds in subsequent financial years. It is immoral, unjust, unprofessional and unethical. As the Chair did say, there are minimal amendments to this Bill. With those many remarks, I second the Motion."
