    "content": "If we do not put that debt ceiling in terms of timelines, then it is possible that bureaucrats in Government may push it, and it remains above 55 per cent of the GDP all the way to 2050. As a result, the generations after us will say they are still within the debt ceiling because the timeline was not set. That is why we need to enforce compliance and force the National Treasury to make sure that within this period of five years, they move that compliance level to what is set out in the Bill. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I said, this is a very short Bill with only three clauses. Therefore, I have nothing more important to add. I beg to move and request the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Kimani Kuria, the one and only Member for Molo, to second."
