    "content": "(c) Approve that the National Treasury finalises the required Budget document as per the Public Finance Management Act on detailed Budget Estimates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Departmental Committees and all the members of those Committees who have participated in these meetings as they have overseen the various MDAs. We take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work, especially coming at a time when other political undertakings were on. Party considerations and the need to get re- elected notwithstanding, they showed a lot of dedication and commitment to make sure that Parliament lives up to its budgetary oversight role. We are also grateful, as we said earlier, to members of the public who took their time to attend the public hearings and present their submissions to Budget and Appropriations Committee. Lastly, Hon. Speaker, my Committee is grateful to you, the Clerk of the National Assembly and the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) for the unwavering support received as we sought to discharge our mandate of reviewing the Budget Estimates for 2017/2018 Financial Year and the medium term. Last but not least, I take this opportunity to thank the members of my Committee for their hard work, dedication and sacrifice, and faith in my leadership at times that were not always very easy. I also take this opportunity to thank this House for finding it fit to ask us to serve in this Committee on their behalf. For that, we are truly appreciative and do not take that privilege for granted. With those few remarks, I beg to move. I request the Rt. Hon. Aden Duale, the Member for Garissa Township, the Leader of the Majority Party of this House, the indefatigable, tireless gentleman from that wonderful part of the country, to second this Motion."
