    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support the Motion as amended. I also wish to support the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the work that the Committee has been able to do in terms of moving this debate forward. I also wish to support the mood of the House in passing the Kshs3.3 billion that has been agreed upon by the Mediation Committee. The country has been apprehensive that if this particular Bill was lost, then it would have been a legal quagmire of a nature not hitherto seen in this country. We would have had to scrap the barrel and go up and down looking for what to do. This House has sorted those fears by agreeing to pass what the Mediation Committee has arrived at. Even as we pass what the Senate recommended and what the Mediation Committee has come up with, we cannot fail to express our discontent at the Senate approach in this matter. The Senate was represented in the IBEC through the Parliamentary Service Commission. It is that representation that they should have used to make known their intentions, proposals and recommendations. Some of the things that the Senate has recommended are acceptable. Everybody would like counties to have emergency funds. Those emergency funds need to come early along the channel of the budget process. The Senate has been very unfair to everybody else including the IBEC and all the various institutions that have spent a lot of time putting together the figure of Kshs283 billion.
