Langat","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":384,"legal_name":"Benjamin Kipkirui Langat","slug":"benjamin-langat"},"content":"Hon. Speaker, at the stage where we are, this cannot be carried as a money Bill because even if we pass the Budget Policy Statement, the Cabinet Secretary cannot use it to remove money from the Consolidated Fund. At this stage, this one remains a Motion. I am also a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. At this stage, this is a Motion, and can be amended; it is not a Money Bill. However, having said so, it does not mean that I support the amendment. The figure in contention is Kshs3 billion and the narration is “Public Hearings”. I see that the interest of hon. Members is that, if this money has to go to any constituency, then it has to go to all the constituencies."}
