    "content": "to discuss and not a statement. So, it is not a Member who asked for a Statement. I tabled a document inquiring on the status. To each one of us seated here in Parliament, the question is not about the national Government not paying pending bills, but the National Treasury requesting to get the concurrence of the National Assembly and the Senate on the pending bills of 15 counties. So, we asked the Committee just like we did with the Supplementary Estimates to table a Report and make recommendations so that the House can decide. This is because we leave many people in our counties suffering and becoming poor. Even if there is a legal lacuna, all the same procedurally, I am inquiring about a document from the National Treasury that was tabled. I think the House ought to have a report to discuss this. The Statement the Chair read is a recommendation of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Speaker, before we go further, we need your guidance on the way forward."
