    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the First Supplementary Budget for the 2014/2015 Financial Year, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 23rd April, 2015. The First Supplementary Estimates for the 2014/2015 Financial Year were submitted to the National Assembly in line with Article 223 of our Constitution. These Estimates gave latitude for introduction of supplementary appropriations for the national Government to appropriate funds in cases of inadequacies or where emergencies have arisen. From the outset, let me begin by thanking all the representatives from the Executive arm of the Government who appeared before the Committee and also acknowledge the insightful contribution made by all the stakeholders not least, the Committees of this House and the Members of Parliament in their discussions in these Committees. I also wish to thank the offices of the Speaker, the Clerk of the National Assembly as well as the Parliamentary Budget Office for the support received as it discharged its mandate of examining the Supplementary Budget Estimates for the 2014/2015 Financial Year. Hon. Speaker, before I proceed, allow me to thank you for allowing the mediation team to meet this morning. We met together with our colleagues from the Senate. We had taken the liberty to invite the National Treasury that was represented by the Principal Secretary, Dr. Kamau. We had a lengthy and very fruitful meeting with respect to the Division of Revenue Bill. We were not able to conclude our deliberations. I, therefore, wish to take this opportunity to ask you to kindly consider indulging us tomorrow morning so that we can meet at 8.30 a.m. Hopefully, we shall conclude our issues and I would also like to use this opportunity to ask that we put it on the Order Paper. I notice you are busy hon. Speaker, I do not know whether you can hear me. We request the issue to be put on the Order Paper in the afternoon for the simple reason that if this matter is not settled before we go for recess, we all know the consequences with respect to the budget-making of the county governments. I am therefore requesting that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
