The Controller of Budget (CoB), Margaret Nyakang’o, has called out State corporations and semi-autonomous government agencies (Sagas) for piling pressure on suppliers and the wider national economy with pending bills.
In a presentation to the National Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee in Mombasa, Dr Nyakang'o said the government’s pending bills rose to Sh524.84 billion in the financial year 2024/25, up from Sh516.27 billion, with the bulk of debt held by State corporations and Sagas.
