    "content": "Broadly said, as the Chairman pointed out, the BPS 2015 is just a continuation of the BPS 2014. As the Chairman observed, many of the issues that were being addressed by the BPS 2014 have been rolled over into this current BPS. This creates continuity of budgeting and programming by the Government and also gives us an opportunity, as Parliament, to look at the achievement levels that we have on our Budget and budget processes. Hon. Speaker, it is in the interest of this House that the Budget and Appropriations Committee, when it got seized of this BPS, went and engaged all Departmental Committees which presented their reports to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Those considerations by the various Departmental Committees were considered by the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the writing up of this BPS and the recommendations given here. And so, in looking at that, I would like to turn to the sectoral reports that were handed in, in this Report. Looking at those sectoral reports and expenditure ceilings, basically all the Departmental Committees proposed for additional resources to go to the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). This was because those various Departmental Committees engaged with the MDAs. They heard their cases about requirement for additional resources and in their wisdom, as the Committees that are charged with the responsibility of overseeing those MDAs they felt that some of those MDAs required additional resources. The BPS is a general statement of how this country expects to raise funds and also apply those funds for their various economic development programmes."
