"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee for moving this Motion. As we all know, this issue emanated from the 2024/2025 Budget, which was made in hindsight with a view to collecting projected revenues. As we all know, it was not possible for us to continue in that trend, especially after the events that we witnessed in the country. Therefore, the country had to downscale the projected revenue-raising measures. In the wisdom of this House, it was decided that all the arms of Government, including Parliament, the Executive and the Judiciary, would carry their fair share of the burden of the unrealised revenue-raising measures. This House also resolved that both levels of government had to carry their fair share of the burden. That is why we considered the First Supplementary Estimates and we were able to downscale our budget by approximately Ksh200 billion."
