    "content": "This is in line with the House Business Committee (HBC) meeting held last evening. I was not there, but I have read the minutes this morning. We have a time constraint on the budget- making process of the House between now and Thursday, 14th June 2018, when the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury is supposed to come to deliver his speech on taxation measures. He is expected to tell the country and the House how he is going to deal with the deficit in the Budget in line with the East Africa Community decision that all ministers in charge of finance in the region will read their budgets the same day. When the HBC looked at the time available and considering that Wednesday is a day set aside for Private Members’ business, they were of the opinion that we ask our colleagues, Members, to allow us to start the debate on the Budget Estimates based on the Report tabled by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah. Once the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee moves the Estimates Report, the other departmental chairs in accordance with the Schedule in the Standing Order will also make presentations. So, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, the Chair of the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, the Chair of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and others in that order must all be ready to take the cue once one of their own has completed giving his or her views. It is just a Procedural Motion. I ask Hon. John Mbadi, who was in the House Business Committee (HBC) to second."
