    "content": "We should not wait for the National Treasury. When the Budget Estimates are tabled here, we must create a line item for the national Government. In the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Revenue Allocation Bill, the Senate must also create a line item. We must force it in law that a given amount of money is allocated sharable in all the 47 counties and every county must pay their pending bills based on the money allocated. If there will be no money allocated for pending bills, the current projects going on will become pending bills in the next financial year. So, we need to be very honest with the people of Kenya. There are people whose properties are being auctioned, who cannot take their children to school and have no food on the table. Governors must read the scriptures. They must read the Quran and the Bible. Hon. Speaker allowed us kuongea Kiswahili. Yale yanayotendeka nchini Kenya katika serikali zakauti ni dhuluma . Watu wengine wako hospitalini na wengine hawana chakula lakini wengine nimatajiri . Hii tumekubaliana . Unajua for the Kiswahili Standing Order, Bw . Spika amekubali… As we reach here, we can changanya . Hiyo dhuluma mnayowafanyia Wakenya, Munguanawaona . This House and the Budget and Appropriations Committee must create an amount for pending bills. The President said it in Narok. The national Government has tried its best to pay their pending bills, but in the county governments, we must put it in the Division of Revenue Bill."
