Ministries and counties should pay for services rendered now

For the second time this year, President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed ministries and county governments to settle their pending bills.

The president’s directive that the bills be paid within 10 days, comes a day after acting National Treasury CS Ukur Yatani gave 15 counties up to December 1 to settle the debts or risk losing out on cash transfers from the national government.
