    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.; that whereas pending bills are a big issue in this country, counties must pay them to the suppliers and the contactors. We must also, in the process, respect the law. The Constitution must be adhered to and respected by all. Last week, the national Treasury issued a lot of circulars, which shows that there is a big crisis, even in the way we do things. We would like the pending bills to be paid and, as a matter of fact, this Senate has been discussing them. We would like the national Treasury to share it with us so that we know when the approval is given; so that when counties get those releases, they pay, because everybody is suffering. The suppliers who have not been paid must be paid. Salaries must be paid. There will be a bit of confusion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, give us proper direction, because Article 97 of the Constitution must be followed to the letter. I beg to support."
