    "content": "recommendations to the House. Part (d) states thus: to examine Bills related to the national Budget, including Appropriations Bills. Of course, there are other mandates spelt out there. Hon. TJ Kajwang' is concerned with Standing Order 207(6), which says that the Committee shall invite Chairpersons of all Departmental Committees to make presentations during the consideration of the Budget. It is not denied before us that the Budget and Appropriations Committee invited all Chairpersons of Departmental Committees. If the Chairpersons, upon invitation, went before the Budget and Appropriations Committee without remitting the matter initially to their Departmental Committees for deliberation, that is a failure of the Chairpersons and a matter for the Chairpersons in terms of how they relate with their Committees and Committee Members. It is not, however, the reason to deny that Supplementary Estimates III is properly before the House, having been tabled last week. In fact, it is the business of the House to proceed, those chairpersons having been invited. If we have any issues regarding whether the Chairpersons presided or referred this matter to the Committee for consideration, those are internal Committee issues. What is required is that the Budget and Appropriations Committee invites the Chairpersons when they make their decisions on the Supplementary Estimates. It has been confirmed that it happened. Therefore, the matter is properly before the House, and we are ready to transact it straight away."
