    "content": " Let me appreciate the presence of pupils from Kikuyu Township Primary School, which I attended. The Class Eight pupils are seated in the Speaker’s Gallery. I was a Class Eight pupil in Kikuyu Township Primary School exactly 30 years ago. I welcome them to the National Assembly. I encourage them to work hard in their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) this year. Maybe in another 15 to 20 years, they will stand here as Members of Parliament and respectable citizens of this country. Hon. Speaker, I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) What is the status and quantum of all the unpaid bills in the Ministry headquarters, National Police Service, Prisons Department, including those that have been classified as ineligible or unpayable? (ii) What are the reasons why part of the pending bills have been ascertained as ineligible or unpayable, what persons or companies are owed these amounts, and what is the period the unsettled bills have been outstanding? (iii)What measures have been instituted towards resolution of the payment dispute with some of the suppliers - some of whom you have seen demonstrating in the streets - especially from the Prisons Department, including authenticating their claims and when will these outstanding bills owed to the suppliers and contractors be paid? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
