    "content": "The county governments are notorious. Many of the contractors or suppliers have been demanding for payment which date back to previous financial years and the first term of devolution. There is dire situation outside there. We urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee to be hard on the National Treasury. Under Article 225 of the Constitution, they should urge the National Treasury to stop payment or disbursement of funds to any particular SAGA or MDA that has refused to pay small-scale suppliers and dealers. The pending bills have become a very lucrative business. The lobbyists can lobby for pay, bribe or kickback for pending bills to be prioritised in various SAGAs. We cannot create a situation where corruption entrenches itself continuously and underhand deals become the order of the day to get paid."
