    "content": "foundation of the budget and the financial year. It speaks to the money envelope that is available for the Financial Year 2025/2026. Although the Motion is on the first page of the Order Paper, there are very important notes that are contained in the First and Second schedules. The First Schedule gives the details and the breakdowns of allocations per ministry, which are found on page 216 of the Order Paper. You will see the details of the Budget as proposed and the ceilings that have been set. You will see the allocations to the Executive Office of the President, the Office of the Deputy President and other offices. The last Vote is Parliament, where we have allocations to the Parliamentary Service Commission, the National Assembly, the Parliamentary Joint Services and the Senate. That amounts to a Ksh2.5 trillion budget. The BPS makes certain very important pronouncements that guide on how we will generate and spend funds in the country and set the ceilings. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am concerned and interested in the policy resolutions because we cannot have a budget that does not have policy resolutions. They are fundamental in ensuring that the budget is properly implemented. One of the key resolutions is that further to the resolution of the House during the approval of the Financial Year 2024/2025 Estimates on re-engineering the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMIS), the National Treasury should submit geographical information of development projects per county and constituency by 30th April 2025. That is very important because our IFMIS system has been in place for a long time and it helps in managing the country’s finances. The most important point is that the Ministry of the National Treasury and Economic Planning should now submit geographical information of development projects per county and constituency by 30th April 2025."
