    "content": "THAT, aware that now the dissolved local authorities across the country were owed huge debts by the Government agencies and departments; further noting that the Government has not remitted payments in lieu of rates, rent, water and way leaves among others; deeply concerned that those debts were amounting to approximately Kshs3 billion as of 2011, with no payment forthcoming; also aware that the new county governments are expected to take over those debts and most of the expected revenue allocations they will receive could go towards payment of those historical debts, this House urges the national Government to speedily pay outstanding rates, rent, water and other arrears owed to the county governments to prevent resources meant for development to be used to pay off outstanding debts."
