    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to add my voice to what my colleagues have stated. We also have issues with deductions from statutory bodies like the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the rest that are not being remitted by county governments. As we look at pending bills to the contractors, we also have issues with statutory bodies that do not remit deductions. In addition, as it has been suggested, we need to come up with a committee on payment bills, so that we can look at what is pending. This is because by next year, some governors could have got loans of up to Kshs2 billion or Kshs3 billions knowing that they will not be re-elected. Therefore, it will be a burden for the incoming governor to manage. Thirdly, we also have local collections which are not being reflected in many counties. This is money which goes to governors’ pockets and they are preparing for the forthcoming elections. It is important for the Committee to make sure that we get all these details, through the Controller of Budget, so that we confront our governors. We should have these accounts sorted out, once and for all."
