    "content": "(3) In considering the Estimates, the House shall take into consideration its resolutions on the Budget Policy Statement and ensure that— (a) an increase in expenditure in a proposed appropriation is balanced by a reduction in expenditure in another proposed appropriation; or (b) a proposed reduction in expenditure is used to reduce a deficit in the Budget. (4) An amendment to any vote to increase or reduce the sum allotted to any programme or the vote may only be moved in accordance with the recommendation of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. (5) An amendment in the Committee of Supply may be in the form of a motion “That the Vote…….. be increased/reduced by Ksh …… (in respect of programme ………)” or in such a form as the Speaker may approve. (6) An amendment to leave out a Vote shall not be in order, and shall not be placed on the Order Paper, and a Member desiring to do so should instead oppose the approval of the Vote. (7) When notice has been given of two or more amendments to reduce the same item, sub-head, or a vote, they shall be placed in the Order Paper and considered in the order of the magnitude of the reductions proposed, the amendment proposing the largest reduction being placed first in each case. The reduced amount in respect of a Vote may be transferred to another Vote provided that other Vote has not been disposed of. (8) Debate on every amendment shall be confined to the item, sub-head or the Vote to which the amendment refers, and after an amendment to an item or sub-head has been disposed of, no amendment or debate on a previous item or sub-head of that Vote shall be permitted. (9) On the last of the allotted days, being a day before the 26th June, the Chairperson shall, one hour before the time for the interruption of business, forthwith put every question necessary to dispose of the debate for approval of the Vote then under consideration, and shall then forthwith put severally the questions necessary to dispose of every Vote not yet granted; and if at that time the House is not in Committee, the House shall forthwith move into committee without question put, for that purpose. (10) On any day upon which the Chairperson is under this order directed to put forthwith any question, the consideration of the business of Supply shall not be anticipated by a Motion for the adjournment of the House, and no dilatory Motion shall be moved in relation to that business, and the business shall not be interrupted under any Standing Order. (11) When all amendments in respect of all Votes have been disposed of, the Chairperson shall again propose the question “The House do approve the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Budget Estimates for the financial year…….and the Estimates of Expenditure from the Equalisation Fund and the allocations to the respective votes and programmes as contained in the Schedule” with necessary modifications, where applicable. (12) At the conclusion of the debate the Chairperson shall put the question referred to in paragraph (11) and report to the House forthwith. The justification of that is that amendment seeks to prescribe the procedure of consideration of estimates in the Committee of Supply."
