    "content": "Hon. Chepkong’a and Hon. Hassan, take your seats or the nearest seats. Hon. Members, I wish to welcome you back to the House from the just concluded long recess. I believe you are geared up to embark on the legislative business as the House commences the Second Part of the Fourth Session which is characterised by the consideration of the Budget and related business. Therefore, it is christened as the Budget Session. Having said that, I am aware that the recess period was a working recess given the enormous amount of time that you employed towards public hearings on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 4 of 2025), and the consideration of the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2025/2026. Hon. Members, as we commence the Second Part of this Session, the House will prioritise Budget-related business appreciating the strict statutory timelines therein. Specifically, the House will soon consider the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Estimates for the Financial Year 2025/2026. This will, in turn, pave way for the consideration of the Estimates in the Committee of Supply and the attendant legislations, including the Appropriations Bill, 2025, and the Finance Bill, 2025. The House is further expected to consider the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill, 2025, if any, and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill upon their receipt from the Senate.
