    "content": "sentiments that in future, before we discuss the Vote on Account, it is important to give additional information so that hon. Members can comprehensively understand why the figure we have requested is necessary. The Treasury will take that into account in future Budgets. I also agree with hon. Members that, indeed, there will be major challenges as we implement this Budget. However, the fear of challenges should not deter us from being committed to what is going to succeed. We, at the Treasury, are committed to ensuring that despite the challenges, we succeed alongside Members of Parliament and Kenyans as a whole, in ensuring that we implement this Budget in accordance with the stated objectives. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was an issue which had been raised with regard to the implementation modalities. You will recall that I had promised this House that we would be issuing guidelines that would be followed in the implementation, especially of the stimulus programmes. I want to assure hon. Members that we, at the Treasury, are working continuously and before the beginning of the next financial year, we will have those guidelines ready. I will be in a position to address hon. Members and explain the processes, procedures and guidelines that we will use to implement the proposals that are contained in the Budget. I want to assure hon. Members that despite the fact that we are asking for this Vote on Account, we are not saying that we do not want the scrutiny of hon. Members. We acknowledge and recognize the role of this House. We want to work with this House with the objective of making the process of Budget making both more transparent and more accountable not just to this House but to the Kenyan nation as a whole. With those few remarks, taking into cognizant the fact that our officers are also here and have taken note of most of the issues that were raised by hon. Members, I beg to move."
