    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what your secretariat or the legal department led by Dr. Okello was advising the Committee on Finance and Budget. This is because we already have a law that we had passed. The argument of the Committee on Finance and Budget should be based on the DoRA 2024, which had been assented to by the President alongside the Appropriations Act. The Appropriations Act was later amended by the National Assembly after the collapse of the Finance Bill, 2024. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we say we want to allocate 50 per cent of the allocation, it should be within the Act of 2022/2025, not the previous Act. We did pass the DoRA here. That is why Members were hesitant to proceed with the Second Reading of the amendment of the Act that is in existence. We wanted to ensure that we reject this amendment and retain it at Kshs401 billion as we had agreed."
