    "content": "As you are aware, out of the over Kshs350 billion pending bills owed by county governments to various suppliers and institutions in this country, more than Kshs100 billion of that amount is owed by Nairobi City County alone. As I was submitting to the House last week, I had been very encouraged as the Senator of Nairobi City County, that we have had certain discussions regarding some of those pending bills, especially those that were incurred by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS). We were able to construct a concession from NMS. When the State House Comptroller appeared before the Committee on County Public Accounts, he assured us that money will not appear in the books of Nairobi City County any more. This is a problem. We have had certain submissions in public that now, we are going to see timely disbursement of resources to counties in line with the Disbursement Schedule that this House will pass. I hope that will be the solution to this question of pending bills in the country."
