    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I wanted your guidance on the role of the BPS. If it cannot guide the budget-making process, then why would we really be going about it? When you look at this, you see so many cases. I have just given a few examples. What was approved for the Ministry of Defence was Kshs96 billion, but what is before the House is Kshs98 billion. The State Department for University Education was Kshs63 billion, but what is before the House is Kshs71 billion. The Ministry of Health was Kshs59 billion, but what is before the House is Kshs60 billion. The Department of Infrastructure - and it is the biggest - was Kshs134 billion, and what is before the House is Kshs176 billion. The State Department for Transport in the Report of the Liaison Committee was Kshs130 billion, but what is before the House is Kshs181 billion. The Department of Housing and Urban and Metropolitan Development was Kshs11 billion, and what is before the House is Kshs12 billion. In fact, there are instances where what is before the House, for example, the Department of Broadcasting and Telecommunications, has a proposal of Kshs2.7 billion. That was not in the BPS. It goes on and on. In some cases, what is before the House is more than ten times what was in the BPS."
