    "content": "programme-based budget, the committees can be seized of this matter and call the respective spending agencies to account for the monies that we are giving them - which really is not our money, but money that belongs to the people who brought us to this honourable House. It is also important to emphasise that the Controller of Budget is expected to report on budget execution in accordance with the programme-based budgeting framework. This will enable the departmental committees to track the budget for the spending agencies they oversee in terms of their specific targets. There is need for improvement of timely reports from the Controller of Budget so as to mitigate the problem of delayed oversight by this honourable House. It is now our humble recommendation that the departmental committees continue to engage their respective Ministries as I have said, and come up with a very clear work plan. This will help in the harmonisation of targets, policies and programmes at the outset. The absorption capacity needs to improve. It is important that we begin to see change in the way that we are spending taxpayers’ money. I want to thank my Committee Members for the work that we have done, especially the assistance of the fellow Chairpersons from different committees and, not least, in this particular assignment that we have just found ourselves unable to support the Treasury. We hope that better days will come when more time can be given to us so that we can interrogate our colleagues in the Executive in respect to all the monies that we make available to our people. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request the hon. Member of the great people of Narok West, Hon. Patrick ole Ntutu, to kindly second. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
