State ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) rolled over Sh64.7 billion in arrears to suppliers and contractors in the financial year ended June 2019 to the current year, signalling defiance of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive.
The Treasury document released on Friday shows the pending bills comprised Sh63.6 billion owed to contractors of capital projects such as roads and Sh1.1 billion in recurrent votes. The cash owed to suppliers for goods and services they rendered to the State by the end of June 2019 was more than double Sh29.3 billion a year earlier.
