    "content": "Hon. Members, this morning the Member for Gem, Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, rose on a point of order and raised several issues regarding the place of the recommendations of Departmental Committees in the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He was supported by contributions from several Members, including the Leader of the Majority Party, hon. A.B. Duale, Hon. Eseli Simiyu, Hon. Benjamin Langat, Hon. Peter Kaluma, Hon. Ndung’u Gethenji and Hon. Richard Onyonka, among others. The Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Mutava Musyimi, argued that the Committee, in his understanding, is not obligated to take in its entirety the recommendations of the Departmental Committees when submitting its Report to the House. From the points raised by Members, I have deduced the following as the issues for determination:- (i) Whether the Budget and Appropriations Committee is at liberty not to take into consideration the recommendations of Departmental Committees on the Budget Estimates of line Ministries and Departments under their purview when discussing and reviewing the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure."
