    "content": "actually not based on a need base, but rather at the will of the Governor and his team. That is how the budget making is taking place in these counties There are so many unfinished or stalled projects from since 2013. It is not a priority anymore for the governors. So much money has been spent. Some of the projects are even their offices and assembly offices, yet that is not prioritized. Instead, they always keep on looking for new projects, which is a very unfortunate situation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, who is also my party leader, is here. We need to have control on these things. Action must be taken. The pending bills are increasing each year because they are not being paid. They are escalating every time. So, the committee should tell Kenyans what this House will do about this escalation of the pending bills. Equally, we will ask the committee to at least follow up this issue and ensure that all projects that are stalled must be finished before the end of this term. I beg to support."
