    "content": " There is the other problem which the Chairman has touched on, on entities given contracts based on their budget. When the budget is slashed through supplementary estimates, the projects stall. So, we have a lot of incomplete or stalled projects. With these stalled projects, comes the issue of the pending bills. These pending bills also attract a penalty because in most contracts, when there is a delay in paying certain certificates, then a certain interest has to be paid. So, you find that a project which had been budgeted at Kshs50 million ends up spending over a Kshs100 million. We are, therefore, enriching contractors and we are spending our money in a profligate manner."
