A new report by the Controller of Budget has painted a gloomy picture on the status of pending bills in all the six counties in Nyanza during the first quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year.

Save for Nyamira, which paid contractors nearly half of the money it owed in pending bills, Kisumu, Kisii, Migori, Homa Bay and Siaya did not make any significant payments to offset their pending bills.
