    "content": "the State Department for Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions (TVET) together with the Public Service Commission develop clear guidelines on the management of TVET instructors to address the current confusion by 30th June 2025. The guidelines should cover, among others, the recruitment processes, deployment, transfers, and promotions. I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to the Members of the Liaison Committee for their efforts in reviewing the Budget Policy Statement. I particularly commend them for their dedication, the long hours they put in, even past midnight many times, and working through to ensure that we were able to complete this work on time, especially considering that this was the first time that the various chairpersons were evaluating policies at a universal level and not just at the individual departmental committees. The budget-making process from a legislative perspective begins with a review of the BPS, which outlines the key policies and expenditure ceilings based on the recommendations from the sector working groups and the Cabinet. In accordance with the Public Finance Management Act and the National Assembly Standing Orders, the Budget and Appropriations Committee usually examines the BPS. However, in 2025, it was tabled on the 13th of February and referred to the Liaison Committee on the 18th February. The Liaison Committee, while finalising this Report, conducted an inclusive process, consulting with all Departmental Committees, the Office of the Auditor-General, Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and the National Treasury to gather insights and discuss budget priorities. Those collaborative efforts ensured that the recommendations in the Report were well- informed, inclusive, and aligned with national priorities. Upholding Article 201 of the Constitution, which mandates public participation in the budget-making process, the Committee invited the public to submit memoranda, receiving 42 submissions that were carefully reviewed and the views captured in this Report. This is the third Budget Policy Statement (BPS) under the Kenya Kwanza Government, aligning with the Fourth Medium-Term Plan (MTP IV), which prioritises a Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Approach to ensure equitable growth. This BPS focuses on key socio-economic goals such as making essential goods affordable, enhancing food security, creating employment, expanding the tax base, strengthening foreign exchange reserves, and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
