    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the pending bills are mainly in the roads and energy sectors. Roads had pending bills of Kshs.71 billion in the FY 2018/19, which dropped slightly to Kshs.41 billion in the FY 2019/2020, before doubling up to Kshs.88 billion in the FY 2020/21. Hon. Speaker, the government paid approximately Kshs.645 billion or 65 per cent of the total actual expenditure of Kshs.975.2 billion in the Energy, Infrastructure & ICT sector to companies that were linked to China or which were Chinese state-owned companies, among other foreign enterprises. The high borrowing from foreign nations and awards of contracts to foreign or foreign-owned companies has created a vicious cycle of borrowing from foreigners to pay foreigners. This is very sad because we borrow from them and then pay them again. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
