Garissa and Turkana topped counties with the fastest-growing unpaid bills to contractors between June and September this year, accounting for a combined Sh9.71 billion as private sector players continued to choke from unserviced bills.
Data from the Controller of Budget (CoB) shows the two northern frontier counties grew their pending bills by Sh5.69 billion and Sh4.02 billion respectively as the combined unpaid bills by the 47 devolved units jumped by Sh12.03 billion in the three months.
