PS says the taskforce led by former Auditor General Edward Ouko has recommended payment of Sh229 billion.
This is out of a verification exercise of unpaid bills worth Sh500 billion.
National Treasury Principal Secretary Dr Chris Kiptoo has said the payment for Sh80 billion worth of pending bills owed to road contractors by the State is ongoing.
This is even as he revealed plans to clear verified debts owed to service providers before migration to the accrual accounting system.
