    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On this issue of pending bills, I want to inform the House that a team made up of a few Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget and other Senators met with the CS of the national Treasury yesterday. The CPAIC has committed to bring a Motion on Tuesday that will direct the CS on the issue of pending bills. The information that we received yesterday is that the governors in the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) had earlier on agreed that the money that will be released – which is about kshs60 billion – would be able to pay all the bills. The money that was released in that quarter was around Kshs83 billion, but the governors did not pay. That is what led to the circular that the CS issued. Mr. Speaker Sir, I would like to commit to this House that on Tuesday, we will bring a Motion that will put an end to this issue of pending bills."
