    "content": "proposal affects the current and future budgets and may include implications on tax measures. It considers the views of the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and holds discussions with the Member sponsoring the proposal before making a decision. Hon. Speaker, at times, the Committee defers making its decision awaiting to receive comments from the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury while, on other occasions, the Members sponsoring the legislative proposals are not available. Hon. Speaker, in this regard, since the commencement of the 12th Parliament, the Budget and Appropriations Committee has processed 142 legislative proposals of which 117 were processed from January, 2018 to June, 2020 while 25 were processed between the months of July and September, 2020. Hon. Speaker, between March and June 2020, no Bills were considered; the reason being during that period the Committee had to deal with two supplementary estimates, Division of Revenue Bill and the annual estimates. You will also recall that this was a difficult time on account of the lockdown infused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hon. Speaker, during the two months of July and September, we considered 25 Bills. For ease of reference, I have attached herewith annexures 1 to 5 on the status of all the legislative proposals that have been referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee."
