    "content": "Among the concerns that Members have raised is that governors should prioritise the payment of pending bills. The Senate should come up with ways and mean to ensure that county governments pay their pending bills. Contractors should be paid. No one wants to work with the county governments any more. As we speak, many contractors are shying away from working with the county governments because they are not paid. The county governments need to shape up. They need to pay their bills and increase their revenue collection. They also need to take up the proposal that was given by this House. Before the First Supplementary Budget, we had a mediation. We had proposed Ksh391 billion, while the Senate had proposed Ksh415 billion. We arrived to a middle ground of Ksh400 billion. However, we cannot give the county governments Ksh400 billion right now because we are unable to raise enough revenue. They have to take Ksh380 billion. With those few remarks, I beg to reply."
