    "content": "2. Following the submission of the Finance Bill by the Cabinet Secretary, the relevant Committee of the National Assembly shall introduce the Bill in the National Assembly. 3. The National Assembly shall consider and pass the Finance Bill with or without amendments in time for it to be presented for assent by 30th June each year. 4. Any recommendations made by the relevant Committee of the National Assembly or resolution passed by the National Assembly on revenue matters shall: (a) ensure that the total amount of revenue raised is consistent with the approved fiscal framework; (b) take into account the principles of equity, certainty and ease of collection; (c) consider the impact of the proposed changes on the composition of the tax revenue with reference to direct and indirect taxes; (d) consider domestic, regional and international tax trends; (e) consider the impact on development, investment, employment and economic growth; (f) take into account the recommendations of the Cabinet Secretary as provided under Article 114 of the Constitution; and, (g) take into account the taxation and other tariff arrangements and obligations that Kenya has ratified, including taxation and tariff arrangements under the East African Community Treaty. This leads us to the second issue of an apparent variance in the provisions of Standing Order 244(c) and the dictates of the judgement and the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012."
