    "content": "I want to move to the deliberations of the Departmental Committees on Budget and Appropriations. A number of recommendations, as articulated in the Report, were made. I would wish to put across one or two things, especially on Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) incurring expenditures without any budgetary provision. Everybody in this country knows that is illegal and leads to accumulation of pending Bills. MDAs have a number of pending Bills as a result of that. Other issues include delays in Exchequer release by the National Treasury. We have made recommendations on that. We have also covered the area of vertical allocation of resources and very soon the Division of Revenue Bill will be brought before this House. We had an opportunity to interact with the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). We listened to them and got their proposals as stipulated in this Report in terms of vertical allocation of resources between the county governments and the national Government. Therefore, the Committee wishes to thank the Office of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the support they extended in fulfilling our mandate during the review of this year’s Budget Policy Statement and Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDMS). The Committee is also grateful to all Departmental Committees, the chairs and Members of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
