    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise in support of the Motion by Sen. Olekina. It is a good Motion and it is also crucial to acknowledge the adverse effects of the accumulated pending bills. This has led to the closure of businesses and mental stress to some of the individuals who have done business with county governments. It is also equally important to recognize the diligent efforts of county governments in addressing the issues within their county. This Motion gives me an opportunity to vilify the governors from the counties of North Eastern as far as the issue of paying pending bills is concerned. As per the report of the office of the CoB, the County Governments Budget Implementation Review Report that the Senator who moved this Motion was referring to, it is evident that Wajir County by the end of the Financial Year of December 2022, had accumulated a pending bill of Kshs5.4 billion from the previous government. As per the report, the financial year closing December, 2023, Wajir County has taken their pending bills down from Kshs5.4 billion to Kshs1.6 billion. That is a huge difference."
