    "content": "We are very optimistic as the Committee on Finance and Budget. We are always meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, and they are optimistic about their tax and revenue collection. They are looking at even surpassing set targets. Right now, they have shared that they are at past 95 per cent. If that is going to be surpassed, we expect that counties will be able to receive their funding and monies on time so as to execute all their plans, projects and budgets. However, for emphasis, so much is whereby we have seen pending bills. These have been brought about by the narrative of lack of funds and that the National Treasury has not disbursed funds. That is why the governors should know the reason why this Schedule is in place. Equally to the Senators of all the counties. The reason they need to inform and share these schedule is that the County Assemblies and the county governors need to plan with the funds that they are going to receive or project to collect. They cannot keep on having pending bills in place and then planning becomes a problem yet these schedules are public for them to see and plan well. We need to get out of the issue of the pending bills. As a Committee and as a House, we have been able to share and indicated that this is what is in place. There is no way you know very well that your salary is amount X and you want to spend X squared."
