    "content": " Hon. Members, I think I mentioned two things to you, earlier on after the Division Bell was rung and we got quorum. One, in our rules and procedures the Budget debate can continue in the absence of the Minister. So, we are in order to continue with the debate. What we asked for is for Ministers to take up their responsibilities seriously. We had two Ministers shooting up to say that they were in the House. I would like to rule that the debate should continue. However, we really want to emphasise that the absence of the Minister and the Assistant Minister from the Ministry of Finance is truly an embarrassment at this time when we are debating the Budget. Two Ministers took responsibility to call on their colleagues. We know that they will be reading the HANSARD, but it is very important that they also read the mood of the House. Therefore, I would like to rule that the debate continues. The two Ministers who had taken responsibility, that is, Ms. Mathenge and Mr. Obure will talk to their colleagues to ensure that we have officers here to take notes and also note the mood of this House when we are debating. Proceed, Mr. Obure!"
