(b) where the Speaker is of the opinion that a legislative proposal is a draft money Bill in terms of Article 114 of the Constitution, direct that the legislative proposal be referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the proposal shall be proceeded with only in accordance with the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee after taking into account the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. (b) deleting paragraph (4) and substituting the following new paragraph— (4) The Budget and Appropriations Committee shall consider only the money- bill or financial aspects of the proposal and submit a report to the Speaker within twenty-one (21) days of receipt of the proposal. (c) inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph 4— (5) A report under paragraph (4) shall contain— (a) the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance, if any; (b) a detailed examination of the manner in which the legislative proposal affects the current and future budgets and may include implications on tax measures; (c) a recommendation on whether or not the proposal should be proceeded with; (d) any other appropriate recommendation relating to money-bill aspects of the proposal. (6) Upon receipt of the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Speaker may direct that— (a) the proposal be subjected to prepublication scrutiny before the relevant Departmental Committee in case of a legislative proposal not sponsored by a Committee, or the proposal be published into a bill, in the case of a legislative proposal sponsored by a committee, or (b) the legislative proposal be not proceeded with. (7) The Departmental Committee to which a legislative proposal is referred to for prepublication scrutiny under paragraphs (3)(a)(i) and (6)(a) shall consider the proposal and submit a report to the Speaker within twenty one (21) days recommending whether or not the proposal should be proceeded with. (8) Following the recommendations of the relevant Departmental Committee, the Speaker shall direct either that the legislative proposal be published into a bill or not be proceeded with. This is to create clarity on how to handle money Bills as per Article 114 of the Constitution."
