    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What we are debating this evening is in fulfilment of Article 221 of the Constitution that requires the National Assembly to debate the Budget Estimates every year. But, before we do that the Budget and Appropriations Committee must first look at the estimates and make recommendations. That is what we are doing this afternoon. First of all, the Budget progress begins around September every year during the time the Budget Review and Outlook Paper is prepared and presented to Parliament. Since 2012, in February, this House receives the Budget Policy Statement. The Budget Policy Statement is expected to mirror or show the policy direction of the Government of the day. This year was not an exception. We received the Budget Policy Statement in February which Parliament debated and agreed on the budget ceilings and the policy direction of the Government of Kenya."
