National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has assured the National Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee that measures are being implemented to stop the accumulation of pending bills, while also working to clear the existing backlog.

• The government aims to halt the accumulation of new pending bills while progressively clearing existing ones in an orderly manner.
• CS Mbadi acknowledged weaknesses in the current payment process, citing "cherry picking of invoices" as a problem.
• He advocated for the support of the Treasury Single Account to enhance transparency and systematic payments, prioritizing older invoices.
