    "content": " Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Orders 220(1)(a) and 225(2)(b), I hereby report to the Senate that a petition has been submitted through the Clerk of the Senate by Dr. Evans Kidero, the Governor of Nairobi City County concerning the settlement of various debts owed to the Nairobi City County Government by the National Government and its agencies. In the petition, the petitioner states as follows; (a) The Nairobi City County Government is currently facing cash flow challenges which have made it difficult for the county government to meet its financial obligations, among them payment of salaries, remission of statutory deductions and the fulfillment of service delivery obligations to the residents of the Nairobi City County. (b) The problem is compounded by the huge outstanding debt that remains uncollected, the bulk of which is owed by the national Government, its agencies, corporations and other government entities. The petitioner states that the amount owed by the National Government is estimated to be Kshs9 billion."
