"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a very unfortunate situation today that this very House that is supposed to oversight the counties, has failed the people of Kenya because of the pending bills increasing over the years. I want to correct my friend and my neighbour, Sen. Abdul Haji, that the Wajir County pending bill is Kshs5.5 billion. However, what is shown in the CoB report is the verified amount of Kshs1.6 billion. I want to put the record on HANSARD that the Wajir County pending bill stands at Kshs5.5 billion. This country has all the institutions that do oversight. Our experience has been budgets are made and appropriated. It comes to the Parliament and county assemblies and are appropriated. Therefore, there is no reason for us to have pending bills because all this money has already been given to their respective counties. If a county is given Kshs3 or 10 billion, then they must live within their budget."
