    "content": " Hon. Speaker, my issue is clearly straightforward. I seek some guidance from you, especially taking into consideration the very clear provisions of our Constitution. This House has a central role in the budget-making process which is not ceremonial. The framers of the Constitution and, indeed, Kenyans, generally, did not envisage a situation where the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya would turn out to be a mere rubber stamp in the budget- making process. I want to take you to Article 95(4)(a) and (b) of the Constitution which says: “The National Assembly — (a) determines the allocation of national revenue between the levels of government, as provided in Part 4 of Chapter Twelve; (b) appropriates funds for expenditure by the national government and other national State organs.”"
