"content": "The National Treasury has also carried out an analysis of the impact of the external loan disbursement on the public debt portfolio vis-a-vis an analysis that was done in terms of the external debt and what our public debt portfolio is by the end of December, 2014. A number of scenarios were formulated; which I do not want to go into because they were given to the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Therefore, I am sure the Chair and his Committee must have been taken through that. On scenario one and two, the rest of the documents have been tabled before Parliament. I am sure the Committee went through them and used them to table a report on the need to raise the debt ceiling, while awaiting the National Treasury to finalize the PFM regulations. Those are the trends in Kenya’s debt portfolio and its sustainability. That was also explained to the Committee; the regional comparable indexes on how Kenya is fairing within East Africa, Africa and the global market. Therefore, all this has been done and I do not want to dwell on that. Finally, I want to confirm that I have moved the Motion in an amended form to help my good friend, the independent Member of Parliament from Kibwezi. The Motion on the Order Paper is different from the one that I have moved because this is in an amended form. I am sure the Speaker will also put the Question in an amended form. Hon. Speaker, I ask my colleague, hon. Katoo ole Metito to second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
