Section 40 of the Public Finance Management Act Cap 412A and Standing Order 244C require the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning to make a public pronouncement on the Budget Policy Highlights and Revenue-Raising Measures for the national Government each financial year. Pursuant to the said provisions, I will shortly interrupt the business of the House to allow the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning to make a public pronouncement on the Budget Highlights and Revenue- Raising Measures for the national Government for the Financial Year 2025/2026 and the Medium-Term. In accordance with the Standing Orders, I have also designated a suitable place in the Chamber for that purpose. Hon. Members, as we welcome the Cabinet Secretary to the National Assembly, I wish to remind the House that today's event is largely ceremonial. No decision will be required on the speech as the supply period, which commences with the consideration of the Budget Estimates and concludes with the enactment of an Appropriations Act, is still ongoing."
