    "content": "For instance, we have a project in Oyugis Town where the contractor has already been given what we call an advance payment guarantee together with the consultants. That money has not been included in this Supplementary Budget, which means that it will become a pending bill. What this means is that in the 2019/2020 Budget, this will be reflected as a pending bill and that would deny the opportunity for that project to proceed. Rather than proceeding, the money for the 2019/2020 will then be used to pay the pending bills, which then prolongs the period of time for the implementation of this project. This is the case and yet it is donor funded and the donor money is there. The same applies to the money that is required for the Tana Water Works Development Agency, which oversees a couple of projects, including some in Mandera, Isiolo, Meru and many other areas. The Agency presented certificates that were ready for payment. Therefore, I beg to support that this amendment be included in the Motion on the Second Supplementary Estimates for the 2018/2019 Financial Year so that as we discuss it, the matter becomes part of the Motion. I beg to second."
