"content": "public, the proposal has a money Bill effects as defined under Article 114 of the Constitution as it will entail levying fees on Kenyans for purposes of licensing. In this regard, and in keeping with the provisions of Article 114(2) of the Constitution, which provides that on money Bill Motions, the House may proceed only in accordance with the recommendation of the relevant Committee after taking into account the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. I regret that I will not permit the proposed amendments to be considered by the House. Further, Standing Order No.133(5) prohibits amendments to Bills that unreasonably or unduly expand the scope of the Bill, taking into account the need for public participation as contemplated under Article 118 of the Constitution. Clearly, the proposals by Hon. Osotsi could expand the scope of the Bill to such an extent that the need for public participation would not be lost. Hon. Members, for these reasons, I regret that I have disallowed the proposed amendments by Hon. Godfrey Osotsi and order that the amendments by the Member, as contained in the Order Paper, will not be proceeded with. The House is accordingly guided. Hon. Members, to allow for proper and logical flow of this finance-related matters, before we hear from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on his proposals in the Appropriation Bill, it is fair that we know he has capacity to finance his entire budget. So, we will go to business appearing as Special Motion in Order No.16."
