    "content": "When this new set of rules we had agreed on were published and brought to the House, we did not expect any debate at all because we had agreed. Indeed, when they were tabled before the Senate and taken to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, our Committee passed them. When they were taken to the Committee on Delegated Legislation of the National Assembly, we were informed that even before the Committee sat, those two Members whom I have mentioned; hon. T.J Kajwang and hon. Simba Arati, had raised new issues and they were saying the rules have not been published under the Public Finance and Management Act, 2012. They are the same people with whom we had agreed that the rules should be published under the Parliamentary Service Commission Act. So, they invited Mrs. Phyllis Makau from the Parliamentary Budget office and asked her one question: Are these rules published and can a fund be established without reference to the Public Finance Management Act, 2012? They did not give her the details or the history. When she said the funds should be established under the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, they said it was okay. They wrote a report saying these rules should be allowed because they had not been published under the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
