    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on that note, when the House Business Committee meets this evening and gives us time for this Motion tomorrow, I beg to remind Members that the House, being the budget-making House, tomorrow then becomes the budget day for the Republic and not 14th June 2018 when the Cabinet Secretary will be in the Chamber to give us his highlights on the revenue raising measures. Therefore, I seek your indulgence that we consider this Motion and being the Budget day that you allow the Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee tomorrow to move the Motion from the Dispatch Box considering that these PINs are not working. I am yet to register unlike the Majority Whip who has already registered. I beg to re-emphasise that, indeed, this is a budget-making House. It is not right that the Cabinet Secretary gets an opportunity to only read the revenue raising measures from the podium up there, and we read the Budget itself from our desks. Therefore, I seek your indulgence to be able to do that from the Dispatch Box. As you can see, despite the fact that I have no briefcase, these documents are too bulky. There is no space for them. I beg that tomorrow you allow me to do that from the Dispatch Box for Members to appreciate that; indeed, this House is the one that makes the Budget for the Republic of Kenya. All that the CS will be coming to do next week is to just give highlights of the revenue raising measures for the next financial year."
