    "content": "BPS was tabled on the Floor of the House on 17th February, 2015 and subsequently submitted to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I wish, from the outset, to commend the Committee chaired by hon. Musyimi, Member of Parliament for Mbeere South, for doing a commendable job. The Committee has, within a very short period, held numerous consultations with other Departmental Committees and the National Treasury to review the BPS and has prepared a table and a report on the 2015 BPS. Hon. Speaker, the theme of this BPS, 2015 was “Enhancing economic transformation for a shared prosperity”. It deals with a number of thematic issues among them creating conducive business environment in our country; investing in agricultural transformation and food security; investing in first class transport infrastructure and logistics; investing in quality and accessible healthcare services, quality education as well as empowering the social safety net to reduce the burden on the households and finally, support devolution for better delivery and enhanced economic development. Hon. Speaker, the Committee has proposed additional expenditure of Ksh47.8 billion. It has also proposed a reduction of domestic borrowing by about KshS8 billion. In the original document that was tabled before the House, the Committee had proposed a reduction of funds earmarked for transfer to counties by about KshS12.4 billion; this has now been rectified in the amendment that the Chairman has moved."
