"content": " We cannot pass things here without debating. This is a House of debate. This is the Supplementary Estimates III. We have to question the validity and the integrity of agencies to spend money. That is a requirement by the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know if you may have heard. The Hansard has it that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), as he was moving this Supplementary Estimates III, said that the Departmental Committees did not look at the Estimates. That, because of time, they called the Chairpersons of Committees to represent the Departmental Committees. Is it in order that Chairpersons of Departmental Committees take the place of Committees if Estimates are sent to Departmental Committees? Is it by order that they can surpass debates in Departmental Committees, which then make reports to BAC, and then BAC finds out how Estimates were dealt with at the Committee level? Committee proceedings are the underpinning of this House. What is the integrity of these Estimates? How valid are these Estimates before we discuss them?"

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has said is true. Due to time constraints, we may not have had the occasion to look at these proposals or Estimates in the full Committees. However, Chairpersons who had issues were to appear and express them on behalf of the Committees. May it go on record that Committees are an extension of this House. Today is the day when every Member is looking at these Estimates. Therefore, whether the Committees looked at them or the Chairpersons went there does not matter. What matters today is that you are here, looking at the Estimates, and you can either approve or disapprove them. That is the position."

Supplementary budgets are very important because they allow the Government to respond to emerging circumstances and address urgent needs affecting the people of Kenya. However, are we in order as a House to depart from procedure and tradition where representatives of the people at the Committee level are given the opportunity to scrutinise the Supplementary Estimates and advise? Why are we looking at the Supplementary Estimates on the Floor of the House at the time of passing it when we should have been given the opportunity to scrutinise it earlier? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
