Newly elected senators plan to make changes in law to impose sanctions on Treasury officials who fail to remit county resources within the set timelines in a bid to curb the accumulation of pending bills.

Uasin Gishu Senator-elect Jackson Mandago and his Mandera counterpart Ali Roba say counties continue to accumulate debts owed to contractors and suppliers despite the law requiring the Treasury to remit allocation to counties every 15th day of the month, in line with the County Allocation of Revenue Act.
