    "content": "I ask the Chair to be very firm. The board must tell us where the arrears come from. The board is owed billions of shillings by the National Treasury. I have been a Member of Parliament since 2007. Where there is a new Member of Parliament, the condition of the board is that he must finish the existing or pending works. In fact, they will not approve your projects unless you complete the works began by the previous Members of Parliament. So, the Committee must tell us why every time we ask for money for the kitty from the National Treasury, we are told that there are arrears to the tune of Kshs4.9 billion. Who owes the Kshs4.9 billion? It is not the current Members of Parliament. If there is money with the previous Members of Parliament, they should look for them. The National Treasury says that I have no arrears in my books. What I need to pay the National Treasury is the Kshs33 billion for the Financial Year 2018/2019. But the board tells us, through the CEO, that we have arrears. Hon. Chairman, as the Speaker directed, next time tell us if Garissa Township Constituency has arrears of Kshs2 million. You can tell me."
