"content": "Kikuyu, UDA): Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House orders that, should the time appointed for adjournment of the House be reached before the conclusion of business under Order No. 10 (Committee of Supply), the Sitting shall stand extended until the conclusion of the particular business. I appeal to Members to support this Motion and also seek their indulgence and support because they support this budget process. As I mentioned, in line with what has been lined up for business next week and considering that the Cabinet Secretary will come to the Chamber, we will lose a day next week. That is why we had a Sitting this morning. We seek to extend today’s Sitting beyond the appointed time – that is 7.00 p.m. The House rises at 7.00 p.m. I appeal to you to hang on until we conclude the Committee of Supply. We adopted the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the morning. We are yet to supply money to the State departments, including the State Department for Economic Planning that has our money which goes to our constituencies for bursaries through NG-CDF. Therefore, without supplying that money, then we have not budgeted for it. This is the actual budget now. It is important to mention this, so that we indulge the House leadership. I will call The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

Working backwards, we will lose Thursday because of the Cabinet Secretary’s Statement. This means that the House will not sit on Thursday. We need to give the National Treasury at least a day before the Cabinet Secretary comes to give budget highlights and revenue-raising measures for him to factor in what has been adopted by the House. That means that we must have cleared with the Appropriation Bill and the Committee of Supply at least by the beginning of Tuesday in the afternoon. I, therefore, seek your indulgence. Please hang on and support the Chairman and Members of Budget and Appropriations Committee. I pray that all the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee will be as diligent as Hon. Samuel Atandi and Hon. Makali Mulu, who have been here throughout this process."

I also appeal to the other very diligent Members to be around until we conclude the Committee of Supply. This is when all the Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons of committees come to supply the money that they seek to appropriate to their State departments. If you do not supply the money, then there is nothing to oversee. We have the power of the purse in this House, but not the other one where they just talk about the money. This is where you appropriate money. This is where the real power of the purse is. This is the time to show this power this afternoon, until the conclusion of debate."

When Kenyans see us fighting with him at times on the Floor of the House, they will know we are not enemies because we have varying opinions on certain matters. Where we have divergent opinions, we articulate them respectively. I honour the people of Ugunja who brought him here just like the way he honours the people of Kikuyu who brought me here. Leader of the Minority Party, I beg that you second this Motion."

If there is one task that is sacrosanct for this House, it is the budget-making task. There is no more critical stage of the budget-making process than the Committee of Supply. I plead with my colleagues that budget-making is a fairly technical process. It is incumbent upon Members to take their time and sit through the process, from the beginning to the end. This is the only way to master and understand in full detail what it takes to make a budget."
