    "content": "On the issue of public hearings, every year we visit different counties. When we visit the same counties, we do not go to the same constituency. I was surprised when hon. Midiwo misled this House by selectively reading out Article 221 of the Constitution. He only read out the provisions on discussion and review of the Budget Estimates. Article 221(5) says that after reviewing and discussing the Estimates, we must take into consideration the views of the people and incorporate them in the Budget Policy Statement and the Appropriations Bill. How then can we do that without first incorporating such views in the Budget Policy Statement? This is the policy direction; it is the foundation upon which the National Treasury will base the draft Budget Estimates."
