    "content": "financial outlook with respect to government revenues, expenditures and borrowings for the next financial year and over the medium term. It also looks at the proposed expenditure ceilings for the three arms government and indicative transfers to the county governments. It has the fiscal responsibility principles and the financial objectives over the medium term and has the total resources to be allocated to projects within different individual programmes, projects within the sectors, ministries, departments and agencies. The approval of this Report will communicate the Senate’s position on the preparation of all the subsequent budget documents for the remainder of the financial year beginning with the Division of Revenue Bill, 2016. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee has had the opportunity to look at the budget policy statement in detail and has received the views of the chairpersons of the various departmental committees of the Senate. Twice, we also had a meeting with the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary including this morning to get the Treasury’s views. After looking at the entire document, and having considered the views, we came up with the recommendations. May I briefly go through the recommendations and then I allow the Members to contribute."
