    "content": "That is a redemptive provision and that is why - and I will say it again - this is a storm in a tea cup with an agenda whose objective is not clear to me. It keeps coming back through strange ways. There is no matter here for us to debate. Let us move to the Motion, prosecute it and finish.We have an opportunity to redeem any wrongs that we may have done. Can I remind these Members that after the Budget Policy Statement was tabled here, we burned the candle on both ends working under pressure cooker conditions as the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We could not move until we had received the reports from the committees of the House. We serve this House. It took us a whole day sitting nearly 12 hours non-stop. We have sat not less than seven times with the National Treasury, and one of those times with the Head of this Government, President Uhuru Kenyatta. These are not light matters. We do not just come here to play games. When you talk about the Budget, it is the lifeline of this country. We get it wrong and we create enormous problems. If we interfere with macro-economic stability, there are consequences with domino effect down the road for all of us. So, the Constitution demands that before we make any final determination, we must sit with the National Treasury, which we have done countless times. So, when we bring these recommendations, hon. Speaker, we have prosecuted our mandate to the best of our ability and in good faith. I rest my case, hon. Speaker."
