    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also make my valid comments on this Motion by the Senator for Narok, Sen. Olekina, on the important matter of pending bills in our counties. A few months back, the Auditor-General, Madam Nancy, was heavily quoted by various media houses trying to tell Kenyans that in accounting terms, there is nothing called pending bills. This is another invention by Kenyans. However, in accountancy, there is nothing called pending bills. It is a debt. What they are calling pending bills is a debt. She went ahead and questioned and said that every county, including the national Government, has a budget. Therefore, you budget and say these are the things I want to do for the year. How come you end up not being paid? You should pay. Even as we are discussing this Motion, I am finding it a bit awkward for us to keep on lamenting about pending bills in our counties and the national Government, yet we are doing nothing about it."
