    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have a huge pending bill. We have a pending bill in circumstances where the procurement process and its intent has been put into question. So, are the pending bills that we are going to pay genuine? Were they incurred properly? Do we get value for the money we are paying? We should look at the pending bills in two ways, namely, we should pay the genuine ones because they may be costly for the Government in future, but those that are not genuine should not be paid. Reason should be found why they are not genuine and the people concerned should take responsibility for that. When we review the paid pending bills, we should look back to see if there is a way in which we can get some of our money back. Remember in the last IEBC, people in Britain who were involved were tried, found guilty and jailed. How could they be jailed while our people here were not even tried? In fact, funds were recovered and brought back to the country to be utilised, yet their counterparts here went scot-free. These are things we should really look at."
