The Pending Bills Verification Committee has tabled its first report indicating that the government owes contractors and suppliers Sh110 billion, a major reduction from the earlier estimate of Sh641 billion.
The committee, however, noted that this does not mean the other claims were unjustified since more demands will be considered in another report expected in the next two weeks. Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo told the National Assembly’s Finance and National Planning Committee that it has received the first verification report on pending bills.
