    "content": " Under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, pending bills form the first charge in the subsequent year. These bills have been there and there are finances enough to do other things and to pay current bills, but not to pay the pending bills. This thing of pending bills is actually not pending bills. These are people's money that has been held. This is Government using people's resources. This is Government literally stealing from the people, because they have accepted supplies from private Kenyans who have gone to banks, taken loans and you are taking this money and telling them that we have scarcity of resources. Money is a scarce resource. There is no one time that money is going to be ample to do everything. But if you incurred an expenditure, please, pay up. Do not pay for new expenses and you have not settled the old ones. Hon. Speaker, please, we need to get a proper response from the Cabinet Secretary other than just say there is scarcity of resources. That cannot be an excuse."
