    "content": "Hon. Members, my understanding of “taking into account” is that the Budget and Appropriations Committee is expected to consult and acknowledge the views and recommendations of Departmental Committees when submitting its final Report to the House. Given the critical role that Departmental Committees play, the House has assigned them key functions to enable them oversee Ministries and Departments of Government that fall under their mandates. Indeed, Standing Order No. 216 (5) outlines the functions of the Departmental Committees, which include to investigate, inquire into, report on all matters relating to their mandate, management, activities, administration, operations and estimates of the assigned Ministries and departments; study the programme and policy objectives of Ministries and departments and the effectiveness of the implementation; study, asses and analyse the relative success of the Ministries and departments as measured by the results obtained as compared with their stated objectives, among others."
