    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. These pending bills are affecting the operations of our banking system. We have seen banks making extremely huge provisions in their loan book because people are not able to pay. The Government owes most of these people money through pending bills. We also have to speak to another monster in the issue of pending bills. We have Government ministries owed money by other Government ministries. It is a big challenge. A good example is a case of the KPLC. They are already under big pressure on operations and they are owed money by other Government ministries. We are requesting the National Treasury to coordinate all the departments and ensure that intra-pending bills within the Government are sorted out and this will ensure that Government parastatals which had a big financial challenge can at least survive."
