    "content": "INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS FOR DELIVERY OF HIGHLIGHTS OF BUDGET ESTIMATES –2022/2023 Hon. Members, I wish to make this Communication relating to interruption of business. Section 40 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 requires the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to make a public pronouncement on the budget policy highlights and revenue raising measures for the national Government each financial year. In this regard and, as communicated earlier, the Cabinet Secretary will be making this pronouncement shortly. Hon. Members, you will observe that this activity is taking place earlier than has been in the previous years. This practice was adopted to allow the Judiciary and Parliament to submit to the National Treasury their budget estimates earlier during election years to enable conclusion of budget matters before the National Assembly adjourns s ine die prior to the general elections. Hon. Members, before inviting the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning to make the proposed budget announcements for the 2022/2023 Financial Year, I wish to recognise the other Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and members of the diplomatic corps, development partners, senior Government officials, and other invited guests, and notably the Right Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga who are seated in the Speaker’s Row."
