    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure you have done a careful reading of this proposed amendment. If you allow me, I would read it again. It states: ―An increment of Kshs2.5 billion to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, under the management of the Electoral Processes Programme for initial payment of printing of ballot papers.‖ I would have thought that all we are trying to do is give the Exchequer the powers to deal with this matter administratively. It is just the powers and the resolution of the House to deal with the matter administratively. Come the next financial year, in the process of tidying up the books, they would debit that particular account. By that time, the matter would have come to the particular departmental committee. The issue of amending the law does not arise in this particular provision. This is just to get the resolution of the House to credit that account by this amount. The issue of amending the law does not arise. That is my reading of this amendment."
