    "content": "pending bills is how we are cutting down on money supply. People have supplied. People went to the bank and tender-financed loans were given. They bought goods and they supplied to the counties. They have not been paid. Of course the banks have had to recall their loans. People auctioned whatever they had, they paid and hence when you hear the cries of people that there is no money and that money is not moving around, it is partly because of the inefficiency or the unwillingness to actually liquidate some of these debts that are causing shortage of money supply out there. This is not also limited to the county governments. That is why I said this administration is about to now come to a natural close with the end of the second term. We still have people who supplied NYS and we have been talking about those suppliers for long. The ones who supplied to NYS were subjected to audit. They have been going there and I know so many youths who have come to me and said they supplied. They have been verified and every time they are told we are waiting for the Supplementary Bill to pass. I think we have passed like three or four Supplementary Bills including this one and the people are not being paid. I urge the CS for Treasury who has come before this House and promised that they will be paid. In fact, the President himself has come and told us they will be paid. Between now and August, those people should actually be paid so that they are not handed over to the next administration which will now say that was not their debt and the people will suffer forever. These are young Kenyans who delivered goods in good faith. The fact that there were scandals there should not punish a bona fide supplier who did things in good faith and whose services have been certified. They should actually be paid. With all those words, I beg to support."
