"content": "Hon. Speaker, as a Committee, we met the Treasury and discussed this matter. Knowing our mandate as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, with respect to the Budget-making process - there are other works done by other Committees of this House to monitor the programmes of Government - we were constrained to decline the proposed amendment. If I may perhaps say a little more; if you take the Standard Gauge Railway, the last time anybody met in a Parliament to discuss a railway line in Kenya was in the 19th Century in the House of Commons. That debate is chronicled rather well in a book titled “ Lunatic Express”, which I believe many of us have read. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
