    "content": "Allow me to appreciate the meticulous manner in which this House and the Budget and Appropriations Committee processed the 2018/2019 budget estimates. For the first time, the Committee of Supply was brought to the House and it took a considerable time to scrutinise each and every vote and programme in the 2018/2019 Budget of all departments and agencies and, as a result, the enactment of the Appropriation Bill has been made much easier since it contains the various votes and programmes which this House has approved at the Committee of Supply stage of the legislative process. So, what the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Ichung’wah, and the Budget Office of the National Assembly are doing is that now we have condensed the various Committee of Supply votes into the Appropriation Bill. This will ensure that the Budget is implemented in a very effective and prudent manner to ensure that the intended outcomes, especially on the four big projects or the Big Four Agenda are achieved. In the same line, it could also help us urge all the accounting officers in Government to ensure that the voted resources are well spent on behalf of the people of Kenya."
