I beg to move. Hon. Speaker, the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and here I just want to speak very briefly about our mandate, was established under the Standing Order No. 207 and is mandated to inter alia do the following:- (i) Investigate, inquire into and report on all matters related to coordination, control and monitoring of the national Budget; (ii) Discuss and review the Estimates and make recommendations to the House. (iii) Examine the Budget Policy Statement presented to this House. Allow me to say a word or two about the process that we have followed. We have met six times in the last three weeks. In fact, seven times one of them being informal. During those meetings, we have met the National Treasury as many times. We have also received views from Committees and have had extensive discussions with the Chairpersons of the Committees of this House as is required. We have also had the opportunity to meet His Excellency the President to remind ourselves of his agenda and his priorities as we discuss the BPS. I, therefore, take this opportunity to acknowledge with enormous gratitude the sessions we have had with the Executive arm of the Government especially the President himself and not least the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and his entire team.
