    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is, indeed, true that what hon. Dalmas Otieno would wish to see happen in the future should happen. I want to assure him and the other Members that the path we have been taken through by the Treasury has been very rough. It has been a very rough path for us. We appreciate that the Minister for Finance is new and he is familiarizing himself with the new office. We further appreciated that all of us were in a transition and some things were grey. We would like to see the Ministry of Finance, in future, ensure that the requisite documents are submitted to Parliament in time. You know that this did not happen. Of course, you know that as at last night, Members of Parliament did not know that we were going to meet a new Order Paper with the Appropriation Bill. As of Monday, we did not also know that the Minister for Finance would lay on the Table the Vote on Account. Nonetheless, for the interest of the country I want to thank Members of the Budget Committee and the Members of the joint Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade because of the extra effort that we have put in order to facilitate the Minister for Finance to achieve the milestone that we have achieved today. In future, that may not happen. For today, we support as we move forward. Thank you."
