    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport the following Question. (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a schedule of pending bills currently owed by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to contractors engaged in road construction projects across the country, clearly indicating the proportion that constitutes accumulated interest and penalties from delayed payments? (b) What occasioned the delay in settling bills due for payment by the two Government entities, resulting in the accumulation of avoidable interest and penalties that overshot the costs of the respective projects to untenable levels? (c) What measures has the Government put in place to ensure the timely settlement of bills as they fall due? Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a timeline for the settlement of the existing pending bills?"
