    "content": "I commend both Leader of the Majority Party and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for looking at a holistic view on how the Government manages its expenses. It is really sad to note that today we cannot tell, from one government to the next one, how much we owe Kenyans out there. It is such a shame that pending bills continue to grow. Kenyans are languishing in poverty. They borrow money but they are unable to sustain their businesses because we are not paying them in due time. When I look at both of them in totality, they are tied because it starts with procurement and then it goes to payments. If all procurements, supplies and invoices will be captured in real time, then this hanky-panky that happens in all our government offices— where you have to cough something before you are paid— will come to an end. The systems will stop a payment for somebody today who has induced so that he gets paid, and ensure that the one who is justified is paid."
