Kuna sheria ipo kwenye hatua za kutungwa ambayo itafanya kuwa kosa la jinai pale serikali itachelewesha malipo yoyote kwa zaidi ya siku 60. Watoa huduma na wakandarasi wana kila sababu za kusheherekea hii sheria, maana pia itapunguza ufisadi, haya yamewahi kunikuta humu Kenya na hata kwa nchi majirani, yaani mnapokeza ankra/invoice halafu miezi inapita hakuna anayeshughulika, hadi mkamuone mhasibu na kumuweka sawa kiaina.
Hongera serikali ya Kenya kwa hili, ni la kuigwa na wote.

Kenya is seeking to make it a criminal offence for government to delay payments to suppliers beyond 60 days in a fresh bid to curb rising pending bills.
This is contained in the summary of recent roundtable between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kenya Private Sector Alliance (Kepsa) representatives that could boost the fortunes of many small businesses hit by unpaid supplies in an environment of credit crunch.
The President agreed to the fast-tracking of all pending payments and have a 60–day cap for payments included in next week’s Finance Bill, the summary showed.
The Finance Bill will further make it a criminal offence for any government official to intentionally divert funds meant to settle suppliers.
If adopted, this will mean business transactions between private sector and government will be settled promptly starting 2019/2020 financial year that starts next month with legal action taken against State officials who defy it.
