    "content": "this country’s external debt, all projects earmarked for development through commercial borrowing should be captured in the final Budget for 2018/2019 to ensure transparency. In terms of execution of donor-funded projects, there is need to amend the Public Finance Management Act. It is a role of this House to ensure that it approves all projects financed through external borrowing. That will be a step in the right direction in terms of making sure that all such projects come to this House. I challenge the Chair of the Committee on Implementation to follow through with the recommendations of this House because true to what the Minority Whip said, you make Parliament become a talk shop when you just make recommendations and adopt them, but fail to follow through. Therefore, it is up to the Committee on Implementation to make sure that they follow through. Issues have been raised on the realism of the macroeconomic framework. You have heard Members like Hon. Opiyo, the Minority Leader and many others talk about the realism of the projections of our economic growth based on the fact that our economy is agro-based. It is also good to note that as much as the Minority Leader said that this is critical for our growth, you will be shocked to learn what the documents he said we have not read talk about. The documents talk about the average growth of 5.5 per cent from 2013 to 2017 per year"
