    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this debate. At the outset, let me congratulate the Members of this Committee, to which I am also a Member. We have worked tirelessly and exceptionally well to produce this Report. This Committee is a good representation of the House in undertaking its oversight mandates. Even though the public debt service is projected at Ksh1.9 trillion in the Financial Year 2025/26, this will be the lowest debt service level over the medium term. This gives us a short term relief that must be used wisely. We should also take this opportunity to improve how we execute the Budget and redirect it towards investment to grow the economy in the long term. We have also seen a steady rise in discretionary spending, especially on debt service and pensions. This puts a lot of pressure on the cash flow. To ensure that the Budget rises smoothly, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
