    "content": "requesting for, collecting or taking into account the views of any of the Select Committees of the County Assembly which is contrary to the law. (4) The issue of the foregoing omissions was raised vide a Motion submitted to the Office of the Clerk of the Assembly on 8th June 2014 for onward transmission to the County Assembly Business Committee but before the Report of the Budget could reach the Floor of the House, steps were purportedly taken to send the Chairpersons of respective Sectoral Committees to air their views before the Budget and Appropriations Committee. (5) The recommendations of the Sectoral Committees were not received within 21 days of tabling of the Budget Estimates before the Assembly as required by law. Despite appeals to the Speaker of the County Assembly, the Deputy Speaker and the Clerk, no steps have been taken to ensure that the budget making process is conducted in accordance with the County Assembly Standing Orders and related statutes. The issues in respect of which this petition is made are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body. Therefore, the petitioner requests the Senate to intervene and ensure that the budget making process by the Busia County Assembly is undertaken in compliance with the Assembly Standing Orders and other laws. Finally, hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.226, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the said petition for not more than 30 minutes."
