    "content": "In the Statement, I would like the Committee to follow up to ensure how much of these pending bills have reached to internet banking. Currently, the accounting officers, those who approved the expenditure, are the ones who divert the money. It is important that the Controller of Budget (CoB) understands her role clearly; that she only releases money which she is convinced is going to pay a particular expense. In that Statement, I request the Committee to further examine the amount of the money which is diverted in all the 47 counties, which ends up resulting in pending bills. As a vendor, you will be told that your pending bills are in IFMIS. The Controller of Budget releases the money, but when the money reaches the Internet Banking (IB) level for money to be sent to the vendors, approver one and approver two in the county government divert that money and use it to pay for other expenditures which had not been budgeted for or approved by the Controller of Budget."
