    "content": "I have been in a lot of pain and I have asked myself what a debt is. There are many Kenyans whom the county and national governments owe close to Kshs180 billion. The Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee can tell us that. We are very concerned about the debts that we owe like IMF, World Bank and Chinese loans. Why not pay the debt we owe our people first? If we pay our people, the economy will grow. People are defying the instructions that were given by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Madaraka Day, that is 1st June this year, that pending bills must be paid. I was there. Unless people working for the President do not want to follow instructions, pending bills are cancerous. They are affecting every village and every mama mboga . Let the Government pay pending bills before we pay our debts to China and everybody else."
