The Committee deplored the manner in which payments, both for development and recurrent expenditures are delayed, raising fears of possible collusion between officers responsible for the contractors/service providers. It was noted that where bills were disputed, they were referred to the Pending Bills Closing Committee. My Committee was concerned that the Pending Bills Closing Committee established in 2005, four years ago, has not finalised its work and come up with a report after such a long time. Therefore, in tradition and keeping with the bad manners of Kenyan public servants, they continue to draw from public funds without cause and nothing to show for it. The Committee strongly recommends that Ministries should operate within their voted provisions. Where bills were disputed and are questionable, the Director of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission should investigate the officers who authorised the claim documents and completion certificates of those contracts and take appropriate action. The Pending Bills Closing Committee should appear before the subsequent PAC in order to account for its work. The current Pending Bills Closing Committee will, therefore, appear before our Committee within the next two months so as to account for the public funds that they have been drawing."
