    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the two statements from Sen. Wakoli and Sen. Beth Syengo. Just like many of the Senators have said, this issue of pending bills runs across all the 47 counties. I have heard the Senate Majority Leader talk of pending bills for last six years. However, in Machakos County where I am counting more than 10 years of pending bills carried forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I recommend that the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget come up with an amendment law. The law should see to it that the Controller of Budget (CoB) will not release money to the counties with pending bills until they clear all of them because before they give any work, they have money allocated for that work. Where that money goes for it to become a pending bill is a mystery to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, capitation for TVETs, secondary schools and universities are delayed so much, yet TVET centres train our youths who come out as useful and good The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
