    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to thank the hon. Members, especially the Members of the Budget Committee, who have worked long, hard and diligently to ensure that we get to where we are. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to thank your office for helping facilitate us to transit through this difficult moment, where as we debate today, we are still yet to come up with a law that will help guide future Budgets to go forward under our new Constitution. However, the goodwill of your office, this House and the Budget Committee has enabled us to get to where we are and have a Budget for the country. Indeed, as the Chairman of the Budget Committee has said, there are a number of proposals that were made by the Budget Committee that were taken on board by the Executive through various Ministries. Indeed, it is the beginning. I want to take this opportunity to assure this House, especially after discussions that we have had with this House and the relevant Committees that we will ensure that going forward, we will begin the process of Budget making together with this House. That process begins within the next month and this House will be fully involved from the sectoral committees as we form them to the public hearings to ensure that this becomes part of the learning curve; going forward. I am sure that it is the Kenyan people who shall benefit from the fruits of what we have done over the last few months. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
