    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a member of this committee and, therefore, the Chairman has spoken for all of us. However, there are two salient points that I would like to speak to. The first one is that the advice we are giving the House arise from our industry which has been thorough, that we should adopt the figure of Kshs415.9522 billion. This figure has been informed by wide consultations and we are aware that the figure deviates from the wish of the National Treasury which preferred a figure of Kshs391.1 billion. It moves away from the proposal by the CoG of Kshs439 billion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I would like this House to move and adopt the proposal by the committee is that this committee is very critical. The number of hours, the honesty and science we have put in, I would like the House to stand behind us, if not for anything else, but for the fact that I suspect the National Assembly will agree to the figure of Kshs391.1 billion by the National Treasury. I foresee going forward that we will differ as two Houses on this figure. As we differ, let us defend our figure. We are not supporting the National Treasury like we did last time."
