    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that during today's Morning Sitting, the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, EGH MP; rose in his place and sought guidance on an advisory from the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning on the measures of supply and ways and means currently being considered by the House. The Hon. Leader of the Minority Party noted that the advisory from the Cabinet Secretary was couched in the form of an unprocedural ultimatum to the House, directing against the amendment of the various revenue-raising measures contained in the Finance Bill, 2024. He concluded by requesting for the advisory to be repudiated by the House as unduly anticipating debate on the Finance Bill 2024, and as an affront to the budget-making mandate of the House. Hon. Members, I allowed the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, EGH MP; and the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, MP; to make brief rejoinders on the issue before scheduling it for my guidance during this Afternoon Sitting. As I proceed to guide on the matter, I wish to note that the advisory referred to by the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party, though addressed to the Clerk of the National Assembly, was copied to both my office and to the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
