    "content": "Similarly, in the County Government of Makueni, there are quite a number of bills which have been pending for years and have been carried forward to the current government. I am aware that the current governor of Makueni has made an attempt to pay quite a number of pending bills. However, we still have a lot of money owed to contractors in Makueni. That is making contractors bitter and affecting even taxes of the country. Such people would have paid taxes and the country would have progressed. Therefore, this Motion is important. We need to have a way of clearing, as much as possible, all pending bills in the national and county governments because they affect budgeting and progress of a county. I support this Motion. The country should have a plan to clear all pending bills nationally and in the counties. Let them make sure that the same are verified, so that the country is not defrauded through fake contractors and contracts where money is owed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to have a way of verifying. As soon as a pending bill is verified, it should be paid. I thank you."
