    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, with respect to accounting standard and first charge where debt should really be paid ahead of even paying ourselves salaries, what we have done with the securitized Kshs7 we have accrued all the pending bills for every road in Kenya. We will clear those pending bills when we raise that Kshs175 billion. So, the pending bills up to December, 2024 will be addressed without any favour. We paid everybody for the first 40 per cent of the amount we owe. We are paying the next 40 per cent of the balance by end of this month maybe first week of August. What we did in the budgeting before picking on any new project was to make sure we provided funding for at least 1.5 or two certificates for the works for the new certificate that will come so that we do not again accrue pending bills."
