    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I really appreciate the efforts of the Leader of the Majority Party to table the Budget Estimates for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. I am aware that the Constitution talks about the Cabinet Secretary submitting those documents to Parliament at least two months before the end of the financial year. The spirit of the Constitution was that those Estimates need to be tabled in Parliament and the National Assembly before the end of April. Even though it is not explicitly stated that the House should be seized of the Budget Estimates, by placing the deadline for tabling on 30th April or at least two months before the end of the financial year, the spirit of the Constitution was that this House needs to be seized of those Estimates on or before 30th April every financial year.
